“Here I asked the Ministry of Energy before September 1, respectively, to submit it to the government for consideration,” he added.
In 2017, for Yakutia, Chukotka, Kamchatka Territory, Magadan and Sakhalin regions in 2017, a mechanism was introduced to equalize electricity tariffs with the average Russian ones.
