Heat by the meter: the Ministry of Construction proposes a new tariff model The Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation sent the federal authorities the idea of ​​differentiated tariffs for heat supply, water supply and sanitation. A document for interdepartmental discussion. In December, the ministry is supposed to submit a report to the government on the results of the study. Proposed changes According to the Deputy Director of the Department of Housing Development and Community Services of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation Fyodor Kozlov, the working group proposes to calculate the rate "per square meter" (based on the area of ​​the heated room). It has not yet been determined how the range of benefits will be structured and what will happen if the threshold is exceeded. These days we will discuss whether the benefit should be extended to one residential property or to the owner's entire property. The tariffs and investment allowances were discussed at the round table of the Federation Council. These are different mechanisms: the increase is related to the modernization of the infrastructure, the tariff involves dividing consumers into groups with different resource costs. Today, heating fees usually depend on the area of ​​the apartment and the volume of heat consumed. The price of a thermal energy unit within one tariff zone is usually the same. The proposed model should separate necessary social consumption from increased volume: preserve the basic need at a more reasonable price, and encourage owners of large areas to pay more. The point of reference is the electricity industry: for domestic consumers there are ranges of up to 3.9 thousand and up to 6 thousand kilowatt-hours per month, but it is difficult to transfer this plan to heating. Here, the heat consumption depends not only on the person, but also on the condition of the house, insulation, weather and indoor networks. The key question is the size of the preferred range. One area threshold for the whole country may not take into account the climate, the type of development and the composition of the family.
