The use of electricity today is paid, and every civilized inhabitant of the planet must pay monthly to its suppliers. The cost of a kilowatt of electricity is constantly changing, and sometimes keeping track of it is quite difficult. But this must be done so that you do not have problems with the supplier company.
Where will the light charge be more expensive?
If you want to know the cost of electricity in your area, you must first understand which category of consumers you currently belong to. Based on this, you can calculate your tariff. You can clarify this information on the official website of the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Public Utilities, as well as in local management companies.
First of all, it should be noted that the cost of 1 kW of electricity is calculated depending on the locality in which you are located (city or village). As a rule, the cost of energy is much lower in the suburbs. This also applies to prices for other housing and communal services, which is why many residents of megacities go to towns and villages.
How to understand how much you need to pay for the light?
If you live in a city, you should be aware that the cost of electricity may vary depending on whether there are electrical appliances in the house for heating and cooking. Or, instead, conventional batteries and a gas stove are used. It should be remembered that all electrical appliances must be officially documented and executed in the design documentation for your home.
In addition, electricity billing can be calculated depending on what time you use it. There are single-rate rates. In this case, the price per kilowatt / hour does not change depending on the time of day. There are two-part tariffs where the price is calculated based on the time of day (day or night). In this case, using daylight is much cheaper than at night. There are even three-part tariffs, their functionality must be clarified before the application.
What categories of consumers belong to the population?
Not only cities and urban-type settlements are equated to the population , but also residential buildings under military units and corrective labor structures. Also included are utility providers that provide electricity to the population, and horticultural associations.
This category also includes garage cooperatives, construction sites, parking lots and other non-profit organizations. Religious structures operating at the expense of parishioners also have the right to purchase electricity at tariffs for the population, paying for it much cheaper.
How much is light for other consumers?
The cost of electricity for consumers who are not related to the population is established through market trading. Prices for a certain period do not change. You can check with your authorized electricity supplier in your area.
Rates may vary and depend on the time of day, voltage and power that the client needs. Voltage can be high, medium first, medium second and low. The total cost of electricity for enterprises can be calculated according to the tariff rates for power and direct light.
How to pay for light in 2014?
The cost of electricity in 2014 has changed. According to the decree of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, each region will have its own social norm. After its introduction, the population will be able to pay for electricity at a standard rate if it does not go beyond the framework established by the government. If the user uses up more kilowatts / hour, he will have to pay them at a higher rate.
In each region, the social norm will be calculated individually; now in a number of Russian regions an experiment is underway to introduce it. Experts believe that the average monthly expenditure of electricity in homes with electric stoves is 300 kW / h, with gas stoves - half as much.
Change in electricity prices
In 2014, light tariffs doubled. The first increase occurred at the beginning of the year, while the energy sector tried to ensure that prices did not differ too much from those used in the second half of last year. All tariffs have been approved by local executive authorities.
The second increase took place in July this year, while the cost of electricity for the population changed by a maximum of 5%. This restriction was established by state control bodies. You can check with your local provider for specific tariff increase information in your area.
Capital prices for electric carriers
The increase in prices did not bypass the capital, the cost of electricity in Moscow in July 2014 also increased compared to the previous period. Now, one kWh will cost the city population 4.5 rubles, the population using electric stoves - 3.15, and others (gardeners, religious organizations , etc.) - 4.68.

At night, the city population will cost 1 kW / h 1.16 rubles, other - 1.26, residents of Moscow using electric stoves - 0.81 rubles. In the afternoon, the cost of kilowatts / hour rises to 4.53; 4.91 and 3.17 rubles, respectively.

This price is valid for institutions that use electricity with a capacity of less than 150 kW / h. Organizations with higher power consumption pay much more for each MW / h. The cost of electricity for enterprises is also constantly increasing, and energy suppliers inform companies in a timely manner.
