When the price of light goes up. Electricity, water, gas and heat prices will rise in Russia from July - Rossiyskaya Gazeta

In July, tariffs for housing and communal services traditionally increase in Russia. Previously, tariffs increased from January, and thus inflation began to accelerate from the beginning of the year.

The government has postponed the cost increase utilities in the summer, when inflation slows down due to seasonal factors, and tariff increases are less painful for the economy. What are the new housing and communal services tariffs from July 1, 2018 in Moscow - what information does the official website of the city hall and utility providers contain?

On average, housing and communal services in Moscow will rise in price by no more than 5.5% from July 1, 2018. At least, this is the figure contained in the government decree, which appeared at the end of 2017. This resolution states maximum percentage growth of tariffs for all regions of Russia.

The relatively low percentage of tariff increases in 2018, compared to previous growth rates in the cost of housing and communal services, can be explained quite simply. Official inflation last year was only 2.5%; this year it is expected to be 4%.

Despite the fact that the budget-funded press presents the 5.5% increase in tariffs as some kind of achievement of the authorities, in fact this percentage is quite large.

Last year, Prime Minister Medvedev said that utility tariffs should not rise higher than inflation. In fact, in Moscow, housing and communal services will rise in price from July 1, 2018 by a percentage that is twice as high as inflation.

Are there new housing and communal services tariffs from July 1, 2018 on the official website of the Moscow City Hall?

Unfortunately, the official website of the Moscow City Hall does not yet list the new housing and communal services tariffs, which will come into effect in the capital from July 1, 2018. Moreover, there is not even information about the corresponding resolution of the Moscow government listing new tariffs.

Thus, you have to look for information about how much utilities will cost in Moscow starting from the middle of the year on the websites of utility service providers.

How much will electricity tariffs increase from July 1, 2018 in Moscow?

For the majority of Moscow residents, the cost of one kilowatt-hour of electricity will not change at all from July. We are talking about residents of the so-called old Moscow, who use gas stoves and pay for electricity using a single-tariff meter without breakdown by time of day. For them, one kilowatt-hour of electricity will cost 5.38 rubles, as now.

As for those living in old, or main, Moscow who have multi-tariff meters installed, the night tariff will not increase much in price for them - instead of 1.79 rubles, a nightly kilowatt-hour of energy will cost 1.92 rubles. Peak and half-peak zones for two- and three-tariff meters will cost the same as today, without a tariff increase.

But for those residents of new Moscow who use electric stoves, a kilowatt-hour will rise in price to the following values:

• For a single-tariff meter - up to 4.30 rubles (currently 4.04).
• According to a two-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - up to 4.95 rubles (currently 4.65),
• According to a three-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - up to 5.16 rubles (currently 4.85),
  • for the half-peak zone - up to 4.30 rubles (currently 4.04),
  • for the night zone - up to 1.35 rubles (now 1.26).

But for residents of the so-called new Moscow (Troitsky and Novomoskovsky districts of the capital), growth will concern everyone.

For the majority of those living in these districts, electricity will cost the same as for residents of old Moscow, reports the Therussiantimes.com portal. But using multi-tariff meters in the new Moscow will not be as profitable as in the old one - the tariffs for them will be higher.

For residents of the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky Autonomous Districts of Moscow who live in houses with gas stoves in areas that are not considered rural, the new tariffs are as follows:

• According to a single-tariff meter - 5.38 rubles (now 5.24).
• According to a two-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - 6.19 rubles (now 6.03),
• According to a three-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - 6.46 rubles (now 6.29),
  • for the half-peak zone - 5.38 rubles (now 5.24),
  • for the night zone - 2.41 rubles (now 2.24).

For those who use electric stoves, the new electricity tariffs look like this:

• According to a single-tariff meter - 4.30 rubles (currently 3.93).
• According to a two-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - 4.47 rubles (now 4.41),
• According to a three-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - 4.93 rubles (now 4.59),
  • for the half-peak zone - 4.11 rubles (now 3.83),
  • for the night zone - 1.70 rubles (now 1.58).

Finally, for residents of new Moscow who live in areas equated to rural areas, the new tariffs from July 1 are as follows:

• According to a single-tariff meter - 3.77 rubles (now 3.67).
• According to a two-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - 4.34 rubles (now 4.22),
  • for the night zone - 1.70 rubles (now 1.58).
• According to a three-tariff meter:
  • for the peak zone - 4.52 rubles (now 4.40),
  • for the half-peak zone - 3.77 rubles (now 3.67),
  • for the night zone - 1.70 rubles (now 1.58).

How much will cold water and sanitation become more expensive in Moscow from July 1, 2018?

The official website of Mosvodokanal provides information on new tariffs for cold water and wastewater disposal in Moscow.

Similar to electricity tariffs, the cost of these services also differs for residents of old and new Moscow.

Within the boundaries of old Moscow, the new tariffs for the population, including VAT, are as follows:

• cold water - 38.06 rubles per cubic meter (now 35.40),
• water disposal - 27.01 rubles per cubic meter (currently 25.12).

For the new Moscow, tariffs depend on specific districts and settlements.

Territories of new Moscow	Tariffs (RUB/m3) from July 1, 2018
	Cold water		Water disposal
Shcherbinka urban district	22,59		27,42

New tariffs for heating and hot water in Moscow from July 1, 2018

As for heating and hot water, although the tariffs for these services are known, it is much more difficult for an ordinary resident to calculate the cost of these services. Tariffs represent the cost of Gcal of heat, which is used for heating and water heating to provide hot water supply services.

Moreover, the tariff depends on whether the consumer is connected before or after the heating point. It is almost impossible for an ordinary Muscovite to understand all this.

However, the new tariffs are known, and we will help you navigate them:

• if now a Gcal of heat costs you 1,742.92 rubles, then the new tariff is 1,806.89 rubles,
• If now you pay 2199.24 rubles for Gcal of heat, then the new tariff is 2279.95 rubles.

You can easily find out the current tariff in any payment for heating or hot water.

The tariff increase in both cases is 3.67%. It is this percentage that is easiest to focus on in the case of an increase in the tariff for hot water and heat.

Utility tariffs increase every year. In 2020, changes in the tariff schedule of most energy supply companies will traditionally come into force on July 1, while today on the official websites of resource supplying organizations you can familiarize yourself with the new prices for electrical energy.

Information about tariff increases is today relevant and important not only for citizens with a minimum income, for whom paying for utilities is a significant expense item.

In recent years, this type of income has become widespread, such as industrial mining, trading cryptocurrency and processing random payments through so-called farms, so miners are interested in minimizing costs associated with energy consumption.

In addition to introducing new tariffs, regional authorities in the fall of 2017 determined new social standards for resource consumption. Electricity consumption in excess of the norm requires the use of increased tariffs for calculating payments.

Traditionally, in the capital region, prices for the services of the resource supply organization Mosenergosbyt using a single-rate tariff are higher than in other regions. The cost of daily consumption of 1 kWh in Moscow is 5.38 rubles. This figure has not changed since July 2016 and will not change this year either. The tariff increase will affect those who use two-tariff and three-tariff individual meters.

Last years representatives of the Mosenergosbyt company are actively encouraging residents to install profitable two- and three-tariff meters, informing apartment owners about the expiration of old devices.

And a couple of years ago there really was a benefit. In 2016, for apartments with a gas stove at night, 1 kWh was charged at 1.64 (T2) rubles, the half-peak tariff (T3) was 5.32 rubles, and the peak tariff (T1) was 6.41 rubles.

Those who consumed, for example, 50 kWh (T2), 30 kWh (T3) and 20 kWh (T1), respectively, received vouchers in the amount of 369.8 rubles (50 * 1.64 + 30 * 5.32+20*6.41), whereas with a single-tariff meter you would have to pay 538 rubles for 100 kWh. Savings of approximately 30%.

Over the past two years, the basic tariff has remained unchanged, while tariffs for resource consumption during peak and night hours have increased:

	From 01.07.2016	From 1.07.2017	From 01.07.2018
T1	6,41	6,46	6,46
T2	1,64	1,79	1,92
T3	5,32	5,38	5,38

From the middle of this year, 1 kWh at night (from 23.00 to 7.00) will cost almost 2 rubles, half-peak and daytime tariffs will remain unchanged.

It should be noted that the use of a two-tariff meter is justified only for those who do laundry, run a dishwasher, or work on a computer only at night, because... The daily tariff is 6.19 rubles/kWh.

The above tariffs apply if the residential premises are not equipped with electric stoves, i.e. A gas stove is used for cooking. The basic tariff for urban residents living in houses with stationary electric stoves will increase from July 1 current year from 4.04 rub. up to 4.30 rub. The increase in energy fees will also affect those who have installed a multi-tariff meter:

Rate	Until 07/01/2018	From 01.07.2018
Two-tariff meters
T1	4,65	4,95
T2	1,26	1,35
Three-tariff meters
T1	4,85	5,16
T2	1,26	1,35
T3	4,04	4,30

IN populated areas, such as gardening, gardening or dacha partnerships, tariffs will remain unchanged this year. Basic tariffs in Troitsky and Novomoskovsky administrative districts from July 1 will be equal to Moscow.

The cost of energy resources for consumers in the regions will also change from mid-2019. The price increase will average about 4%. Thus, in the Nizhny Novgorod region, clients of the resource supply organization TNS Energy Nizhny Novgorod will pay according to the tariffs shown on the right side of the table:

	Price in rubles per kWh until 07/01/2018				Price in rubles per kWh from 07/01/2018
					In houses equipped with gas stoves		In houses equipped with electric stoves
	Within normal limits	Above the norm	Within normal limits	Above the norm	Within normal limits	Above the norm	Within normal limits	Above the norm
One-part tariff	3,45	5,98	2,48	4,31	3,58	6,22	2,58	4,48
Two-tariff meters
Day	3,58	6,88	2,53	4,96	3,72	7,15	2,63	5,15
Night	1,75	3,59	1,24	2,59	1,82	3,73	1,29	2,69
Three-tariff meters

Half Peak	3,45	5,98	2,48	4,31	3,58	6,22	2,58	4,48
Night	1,75	3,59	1,24	2,59	1,82	3,73	1,29	2,69

All tariffs for 2019, taking into account summer price increases in the regions, can be viewed on the website of the energy sales company providing services to the population in a given locality.

The social norm is the minimum amount of energy consumed, which will cost consumers inexpensively (at the social tariff), and for exceeding the established limit, residents of the regions will have to pay at an increased tariff. The ability to determine consumption rates is left to regional authorities, so each region has its own limits on resource consumption.

The legislative act according to which social norms operate was introduced in the fall of 2013.

The purpose of such changes in the principles of calculating electricity payments is ultimately to preserve nature and maintain a favorable environmental situation in the country through savings natural resources, which are often spent wastefully and thoughtlessly by citizens. The reform, first of all, was supposed to affect those who own huge houses, use the resource to heat floors and water in a private pool, operate electric fireplaces and other luxury items.

The price at which resource supply companies sell electricity is social and involves providing comfortable conditions for citizens in accordance with sanitary standards. Consumption in excess of the norm, according to the developers of the act, should be paid at a different tariff.

On the website of the Moscow sales company you can find information that until now the social norm has not been established and, accordingly, this indicator is not used when calculating electricity charges. Considering the prices for electricity in the Moscow region, which are approximately equal to the cost per kWh in the regions at an increased tariff above the norm (for comparison, the tariff in Moscow is 5.38 rubles, the tariff above the norm in Nizhny Novgorod is 5.98 rubles, in Rostov-on-Don - 5.19 rubles), there is simply no social tariff in the capital.

Social norms in different regions can differ significantly, for example, initially in the Krasnoyarsk Territory the social norm was set at 75 kWh, and in the Nizhny Novgorod region the government believes that 50 kWh is enough for 1 person per month. According to the head of the regional tariff service of the Nizhny Novgorod region, an ordinary statistical family fits into a certain minimum and does not notice the introduction of standards, i.e. pays utility bills at a reduced rate. At the same time, there are a number of cases that suggest an increase in the social norm:

— if 1 person is registered in the room, the social norm is 85 kWh;

In the Rostov region, an increasing coefficient is used to calculate the social norm for single pensioners. The norm depends on the number of permanent residents in the apartment:

– 1 person – 96 kWh;

– 2 people – 156 kWh;

– 3 people – 196 kWh;

— for each subsequent + 40 kWh.

43 kWh is added to the norm in houses with electric stoves. 90 kWh is added to the established minimum for housing in rural areas. In the summer months there is an increasing coefficient of 1.1, in February, March and April there is a decreasing coefficient of 0.9.

The methodology for calculating electricity charges is described in the main legislative act concerning the application of social norms (Government Decree No. 614). Appendix 6 contains various formulas. If with a single-tariff meter the calculation of payments is quite clear, then for a tariff with several rates the formula looks more complicated.

In general, the calculation of the amount of payment within the norm is carried out according to the social tariff, the amount for consumption in excess of the norm is calculated at an increased tariff.

For example, a family of two in the Rostov region consumes 200 kWh in the autumn months. The norm is 156 kWh. Payable RUB 808.68. (156*3.72+44*5.19).

If the calculation is made using a multi-tariff meter, the proportional principle is applied to determine the part within the norm for each time zone.

V social norms (1 zone) = V social. norms total * V required. (1 zone) / Amount V consumption. by.zones.

For example, in a month a family of 2 people from the Rostov region consumed 140 kWh. during the day and 60 kWh. at night.

V social norms during the day = 156 kWh * 140 kWh / (140 kWh + 60 kWh) = 156 * 0.7 = 109.2 kWh.

Accordingly, 109.2 kWh is the volume that is calculated at the Day tariff within the norm of -4.28 rubles, the remaining 30.8 (140-109.2) is calculated at the Day tariff above the norm of 5.80 rubles.

V social norms at night = 156 kWh * 60 kWh / (140 kWh + 60 kWh) = 156 * 0.3 = 46.8 kWh. Accordingly, out of 60 kWh: 46.8 is within the norm, 13.2 is above the norm.

The government can introduce energy consumption standards for the population, beyond which they will have to significantly overpay for light and heat. Now the norm is at around 300 kilowatt-hours per month and is paid according to the basic tariff. The authorities propose to pay significantly more for each kilowatt beyond this value. “360” looked into how the new tariffs would hit Russians’ wallets.

The authorities have returned to discussing social norms for electricity consumption for Russians. It will be applied to those who spend resources significantly more than the established limits. The Kommersant newspaper reports about a possible innovation with reference to the minutes of the government meeting.

The social norm is the indicators of monthly energy consumption per person, which determine the final tariff amount. The new project sets the standard at 300 kW/h. By consuming more, a person will pay a higher tariff. If monthly consumption exceeds 500 kW/h, then an “economically justified tariff” will be applied.

According to the publication, this reform has already been approved by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak. The official instructed the relevant departments - the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Economy and the Federal Antimonopoly Service - to develop and submit projects by January 15 regulatory documents on the introduction of a social norm for energy consumption for the population.

In the new reform, the volume of energy consumption will be recorded not at the person, but at the “connection point,” that is, at the household. This category includes both single pensioners and families with children. If we take into account that the average household has up to four people, then the norm of 300 kW/h per month looks realistic and most Russians will be able to meet the tariff, says Natalya Porokhova, head of the research group at the Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA). According to her, the government's proposal will encourage the population to consume more efficiently and will help maintain preferential prices for electricity.

Now 100% of electricity is supplied to citizens at a preferential price, which is two times lower than its economically justified cost. In order to preserve these benefits for the unprotected segment of the population, the authorities plan to introduce regulations. Moreover, the proposed limit is quite large, since the average household consumes about 250 kWh per month

Natalya Porokhova.

At the same time, problems with excessive heat and light consumption can occur with large families, the interlocutor of “360” noted. “The norms may be exceeded primarily by those households in which many people live, for example, large families. Additional benefits need to be introduced for them so that such families do not end up at risk,” Prokhorova believes.

However, the state has already stated that for individual categories Subsidies are provided for citizens in need of social support. At the same time, the authorities did not rule out the gradual abolition of preferential tariffs for residents of villages and apartments with electric stoves and electric heating.

At the mercy of the regions

The government has been trying to combat excessive electricity consumption among the population for several years now. In 2013, the authorities developed similar standards, but they were calculated based on consumption per person. At the same time, as an experiment, a social norm of 50 to 190 kilowatt-hours per month per person was established in seven regions.

The innovation was criticized by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who pointed out that electricity tariffs had risen too sharply. “And in Murmansk, you say, in some municipalities it’s more than 200 percent. “Are they crazy,” the Russian leader said in February 2013.

In January 2014, the introduction of social norms was postponed for two years. Then, in 2016, the authorities remembered new tariffs as part of the diversification of Russians’ spending on housing and communal services. The government proposed to reduce prices for resources for vulnerable categories of citizens, but at the same time increase tariffs for other Russians.

The Ministry of Energy estimated the volume of the transition at 350 billion rubles in 2017, and by 2022 it was necessary to spend 417 billion from the budget for these purposes. To reduce possible expenses, the authorities proposed increasing tariffs by almost 14%, but the government considered such a sharp increase inappropriate.

According to the General Director of the Energy Development Fund, Andrei Listovsky, the new reform will be softer than the previous one and will bring less financial risks for the population.

“The main task of the limits is to protect low-income citizens. As a result of the adoption of the reform, those who consume little will pay a reduced tariff, and, as a rule, this is a preferential category of citizens, for example, pensioners. At the same time, in each region, the size of the limits will be set by the subjects themselves, which will allow the cost to be adjusted depending on the level of solvency of the population,” the 360 ​​interlocutor emphasized.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has already warned regional heads that “pushing through” the growth of energy tariffs is unacceptable. “Today, in some regions, the practice has developed of “forcing” unjustified increases in tariffs; as a result, the proceeds do not go to the development of regional energy, but into the pockets of specific individuals close to those who make decisions this kind", - Putin.

All people need comfort, which means the availability of public utilities. Water, electricity, gas, heat, timely garbage removal greatly affect the quality of life of any person. It is clear that all of the above is given to us for a reason, but for amounts determined by the state. The whole question is, are these benefits of civilization (housing and communal services) worth the money we pay for them? Calculations by government departments showed that no, so next year it is planned to increase tariffs in the housing and communal services sector. What does the population of the country expect and what measures will the government take?

The Ministry of Economic Development made an assumption about an increase in housing and communal services tariffs in 2019 back in August of this year. He proceeded from the fact that in connection with the increase in VAT, there would be a need to adjust housing and utility tariffs. Subsequently, the Ministry of Economic Development supported the government’s plan to carry out two indexations, although according to the law, tariff changes are carried out once a year (from July 1).

In addition, the general economic situation (not only internal, but also external) is pushing up the cost of housing and communal services.

Experts' opinions on how the increase will affect consumers and resource supply companies are traditionally divided. Some believe that the increase, in general, will not greatly affect the cost of rent. Others suggest that rising prices will significantly affect the family budget, and will also hit resource supply companies and cause significant losses.

Changes in housing and communal services tariffs next year

According to TASS, the increase in tariffs for housing and communal services in 2019 has already been approved by the government. Indexation next year will be carried out in two stages:

• From January 1 – 1.7%.
• From July 1 – 2.4%.

He was also supported by the Ministry of Energy, with the difference that the second increase should not be 2.4%, but 4%. In any case, according to the government, the increase in prices for housing and communal services should not be greater than the inflation index for the country. Let us remind you that inflation predicted by the country's leadership will be 4.3%.

The size of the tariff rate for housing and communal services will be determined by regional authorities, taking into account the characteristics of the region. The work of local authorities will be monitored by the Federal Tariff Service, so all changes must be justified.

An increase in housing and communal services tariffs will entail an increase in compensation payments for socially vulnerable segments of the population. And given that many regions are subsidized, it is unclear when these compensations will be paid. According to regional authorities, this will depend on:

• State of the local budget.
• State subsidies.

If housing and communal services costs exceed 10% of the family budget, then such a family applies for subsidies.

What is the reason for the price increase?

The concept of housing and communal services includes:

1. Housing (maintenance of the house and surrounding area, its repair - this is 30% of the cost of the rent).
2. Utilities (provision of gas and electricity, as well as water supply and wastewater disposal - 70% of the total payment).

Even within one particular city, the size of the rent (with the same square footage and number of people living in the apartment) can vary greatly. It all depends on the condition of the house, the presence of an elevator and a garbage chute.

The rise in prices for utilities in 2019 is due to a number of reasons:

• The need for large-scale modernization and reconstruction of the entire infrastructure.
• Annual repair work.
• Cost of natural resources.
• External reasons.

All communications are worn out and require replacement or high-quality repairs. Every year, especially in the autumn-winter period, breakdowns occur, which long time leaves the population without utility resources. In addition, leaks occur regularly, which leads to large losses of resources. Housing and communal services suffer losses, and assistance from the state is insufficient and not timely.

The size of housing and communal services payments directly depends on the cost of resources. It is clear that the more expensive it costs an enterprise to purchase, extract, transport and purify raw materials, the more it will have to pay for its consumption.

As for external factors, due to sanctions, it is impossible to attract investors to the country, and this generally affects the state of the Russian economy.

Gas and heat price forecast

In our country, the cost of gas increases every year. According to forecasts for next year, the rise in prices for gas and heat will be insignificant against the backdrop of rising tariffs for all other resources. Most experts believe that gas prices will rise by no more than 3%. Although, there are assumptions that this figure will be higher and reach 3.6%.

Water cost forecast

The price of water will increase the most in 2019:

• Cold water and drainage by 7.2 - 7.5%.
• Hot at 10.6%.

Such a price increase is necessary for the normal functioning of treatment plants and for the maintenance of pipeline networks. These enterprises have long become unprofitable and this affects the quality of water in the tap. If you do not invest money in reconstruction and modernization, then the characteristics of water will decline every year, and this will lead to a deterioration in the health of the population.

Electricity tariffs

The general condition of all electrical and heating networks throughout the country is unsatisfactory. State subsidies are required for repairs and reconstruction. In this regard, there will be an increase in electricity tariffs for the population in the coming year.

In this case, it practically does not matter whether the house is supplied with gas or only electricity. Payments will increase for everyone, even if the house is gasified, since each apartment has big number electrical appliances without which life is simply unthinkable.

According to expert forecasts, the cost of electricity may increase from 4.3% to 5.7%.

When to expect a receipt with new prices

The increased tariffs will not take long to arrive; they should come into force on January 1 of the new year.

By law, new utility payments must be made from July 2019. However, due to the increase in VAT in January next year, the government decided to deviate from the rules. Recalculation (indexation) of housing and communal services tariffs will be carried out not in one, but in two stages.

The growth of housing and communal services payments will depend on regional authorities, and it is already known that it will be uneven. For example:

• 3-3.1% in North Ossetia.
• 3% in Belgorod and Kursk regions.
• 2% in Primorsky Krai.
• 5% in Kamchatka and Yakutia.
• 5-6% in Moscow and the region.

This difference is determined by the dependence of the location of the region (how far the resource will be transported), the peculiarities of local communal structures and climate.

What does the population think?

Raising utility prices is an unpopular step for the authorities. But this measure is driven not simply by a desire to annoy people, but by economic necessity. According to forecasts, housing and communal services tariffs will place an additional burden on the shoulders of many families. People will be forced to save on other goods to pay increased bills.

On the other hand, perhaps increased tariffs will contribute to better maintenance of heating and electrical networks and modernization of the entire housing and communal services complex as a whole.

The country's leadership is developing a set of measures to reduce the burden on consumers:

• Subsidies are provided for the poor.
• Control over the actions of regional authorities has been introduced.
• Indexation of wages for the population.
• Gradual introduction of new prices.
• Limitation of tariffs within the limits of inflationary processes.
• Regulating the cost of resources.

The fact that prices for housing and communal services will rise is no longer in doubt. Disagreements among experts remain only in forecasts of how much the cost increase will affect consumers.

Price indexation is caused by a number of reasons and is a justified and necessary measure. This will help replenish the state budget and allow for a number of activities aimed at improving utility infrastructure.

The following types of tariffs apply in Moscow and the Moscow region:

Specified tariff plans for electricity from Mosenergosbyt are valid from January 1, 2020 in the territory of the city of Moscow and the Moscow region. (RUB/kWh including VAT)

Electricity tariffs presented below in the tables for the population and equivalent categories of consumers in the city of Moscow and the Moscow region are indicated in the ratio rub./kWh and are divided into two periods: electricity tariffs from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 and electricity tariffs from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

Electricity for common house needs (GDN) and its calculation.

In the section “Information for the population about payments for electricity taking into account common household needs (GDN)” you can familiarize yourself with detailed diagram electricity costs in an apartment building.

The rules for the provision of utility services are reflected in Resolution No. 354 of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 05/06/2011 (as amended on 02/27/2017) “On the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings.”

In addition to paying for individual electricity consumption, residents also need to pay for general house needs (CHN). Such amounts are calculated, accrued and allocated in the payment receipt separately from each other.

Payment for communal electricity in an apartment building is mandatory for everyone, does not depend on whether consumers have individual metering devices (IMU) and is proportional to the area of ​​the premises they occupy.

If there is a common building meter, the volume of electricity supplied to the unit, subject to payment, is calculated by subtracting the total volume of individual consumption in all premises of the apartment building from the readings of the common building meter.

If a common house electricity meter is not installed, then the calculation of charges is carried out according to current standards.
