Social norm of electricity consumption of 300 kW, which want to enter the norm

The beginning of autumn brought the news (it's unclear whether good or bad) about the upcoming changes in the tariff and the cost of electricity for all of us. Let's get acquainted with the proposed changes and make their conclusions.

How it all began

In September 2018 it became known that the government is discussing the possibility of re-entering the social norm of electricity consumption, which was frozen in 2014. Since Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak at the last meeting supported the idea of ​​the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Economy about entering such a rule. And relevant agencies have been instructed to 15 January 2019 to provide for the consideration of draft regulations.

This will be the second attempt of our government to make such a change. After all, back in 2013 was a pilot program in seven regions of Russia, while the so-called "social norm" is calculated per person and ranged from 50 to 190 kWh.

A region in which set the lowest standards, was the Rostov region. So for the first registered member of a family established norm in 96 kilowatt-hours for the second 60 kWh, with the third and forth rate equal to 40 kWh. And let the order of 90% met the designated limits, but moved among the rate was a lot of residents of dilapidated housing, families with children and those who use electricity as a heating.

Already in July 2014 it was planned to start the project all over the country. But according to the results in the pilot regions it was decided to postpone the reform (and later about it and did you forget). But in the summer of 2018 we returned to the discussion of this process.

According to the Ministry of Energy, it has been spent on all sorts of subsidies to 368 billion rubles in 2017, and in 2022, this huge amount was to grow to 417 billion. Since this figure is projected to reduce by the same amount in 2022 to 89 billion in wood forever, the would be required for several years consistently raise electricity tariffs by 14%, which is considered a unreal.

So we find a way out of this situation in the form of input of the social norm.

How it will work

About the work of this mechanism has been given this explanation: the social norm is introduced is not on each individual, and on the point of connection (house, apartment, etc.). And the cost per kilowatt-hour to 300 kW will have a single value. If you step out of the box, then from 300 to 500 kW kilowatts will have an inflated value, and more than 500 economically sound (which I do not understand is hidden under this coded message).

In addition, it is planned to remove the reduction factor for households where electricity is used for cooking and heating, as well as to reduce the categories of consumers, these should previously equated to population.

reasoning

We all try to calm that we did not even notice the change, because most of us do not choose this notorious rate of 300 kW, and this innovation will refrain from raising tariffs on several years old. But there was little hard to believe in this argument.

Because personally I have already floating power consumption around 300 kWh per month. And in the summer, when the active air-conditioning, refrigerator and freezer is consumption It is clearly more to this norm, and it turns out that I will spend more of their money in the accounts to pay shine.

Just imagine what will happen to the houses and cottages, where all tied to electricity (warm floor can be transformed from the usual heating in luxury goods). For such people to pay for the light will be a significant waste of family money. It is also unclear what will happen to families where two or three small children, because they also use can go far beyond the 300 kW /

hours.

In general, personally I have the impression that if such an initiative will still be accepted, will benefit from this Only sales organizations, as for the same amount of electricity supplied, they will be able to collect much more arrived. But what will actually wait and see.
