The time consuming and risky small and medium-sized businesses, last year, the largest losses due to coronavirus and associated quarantine restrictions, especially counted for state support. Not everyone could use it, but everyone collided with another test - a tariff paradox happened.
According to the "Federal Business Journal", a decrease in electricity demand by introducing quarantine measures increased tariffs for a resource for small and medium-sized businesses. The latter pay attention to the current paradoxical situation: electricity was not particularly needed, but its price only grew.
So, small business - retail supermarkets, car wash, beauty salons, etc. - As a rule, attached to the electrical networks of low voltage level (0.4 kV) and are calculated with the electrical energy supplier of 1 price category.
Several significant numbers: the cost of electrical energy (NN to 150 kW. With VAT) for September 2020, calculated for the first price category, in the Tula region amounted to 9914.3 rubles. for MW / h, in the neighboring Oryol region - 8413.2 rubles, in Kaluga - 8595.6 rubles, in Lipetsk - 9571,4 rubles, in Ryazan - 8250.8 rubles, and in the Moscow region - 6918, 8 rub. There is a difference and it is essential.
Special attention deserves the largest component of the tariff - the transfer service. This component approves the Tula Region Tariffs Committee. If it is compared with all neighboring regions, then (for the voltage level of the 1st price category) Tula region - undoubted leader. The region has the highest transmission rate. Perhaps we have the best infrastructure for electricity transmission (new substations, new lines, etc.)? And again by. The composition of the tariff, which is paid by entrepreneurs, includes a bid for payment of technological flow (loss) in electrical networks.
For the above category of entrepreneurs of the Tula region, it is 1 rub. 27 cop For each 1 kW. Whereas in the Moscow region it is equal to 92 kopecks. The difference is 39%. In other words, Tula entrepreneurs from the cost of 1 kW, equal to 9 rubles. 61kop. (January 2021), 1rub. 27kop. Pay for losses in networks.
