Large industry wants to contain the rise in prices on the energy market in Siberia

In early August 2022, the Community of Energy Consumers Association (lobby for energy-intensive enterprises) sent Vice Prime Minister Alexander Novak, who is in charge of the fuel and energy complex, its proposals on the formation of a methodology that should contain price increases in the day-ahead market (RSV; the main wholesale electricity market) . Vedomosti got acquainted with the letter, the association confirmed the sending.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) is developing a methodology for the economic feasibility of price bids for generators at DAM. In June, the Market Council (energy market regulator), as Kommersant wrote, sent a version of the methodology to the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Energy and the Federal Antimonopoly Service. The regulator proposed to set a price ceiling for applications, calculating it from the maximum specific fuel consumption (SFC) for the increase in output and the average actual fuel price at a particular hour. Other costs of TPPs “Market Council” proposed to be taken into account through a coefficient of 5% for gas and 15% for coal TPPs. An order below the price under this formula will be considered valid.
