It is noted that the growth of the regulated tariffs of grid organizations for consumers, except for the population, on average in Russia during this period will be no more than 3% every year.
“In order to reduce the volume of cross-subsidization in the electric grid complex, the indexation of tariffs for the transmission of electric energy to the population on average in Russia will remain at the level of 5% annually,” the document says.
The Ministry of Economic Development added that regulated tariffs for electricity for the population will also grow at a similar pace.
Also, the Ministry of Economic Development believes that electricity consumption in the country by the end of 2020 will decrease by 3.6% against the background of last year's warm winter and restrictions associated with the coronavirus infection COVID-19.
