The energy sector of the Republic of Belarus is an important industry not only in the economy, but also in the social sphere. This sector is of strategic importance. It is the economy that reflects the level and quality of life of the population. But uninterrupted supplies to the population are possible only on condition that an appropriate tariff for electricity in Belarus is set.
Electricity at this stage in the development of the state has excellent indicators and is one of the most progressive engines of the domestic economy. Enterprises in this sector provide their customers with a range of services of the best quality. This means that they provide a stable, reliable and sustainable supply of electric energy for the population. Emergencies are excluded at power plants, enterprises do not do any harm to the environment.
Single rate
The electricity tariff in Belarus for the population is set and fixed by decree of the Ministry of Economy. In the state there is a classification of rates for this type of resource.
It is impossible to unambiguously single out a group of consumers for whom a single-rate tariff is characteristic. This form of calculation is used by various people. Dealing with the tariff is simple: for each kilowatt of energy consumed, the consumer must pay a fixed amount. The number of wound kilowatts is determined for a certain period of time.
The disadvantages of such a system include:
- independent price;
- difficulties in regulating value;
- non-uniform amount of consumption for a certain time cycle (for example, a day);
- various load schedules of the energy system (it is economically not profitable, since an industrial facility costs much more to reproduce electricity at the time of its greatest consumption, while at a minimum load the station operates in a quiet, unstressed mode).
Time differentiated rate
This electricity tariff in Belarus for the population has its advantages:
- payment is made only for kilowatts of active energy;
- consumption is divided by the time of day;
- the price is clearly divided depending on the time zone.
But this type of tariff is set only if there is a failure in the load schedule. This applies, as a rule, to night shifts. Another situation is the lack of resources for energy production during its maximum consumption. For these reasons, there was an established time zone that ranged from eleven in the evening to six in the morning. Within these limits, the cost of a kilowatt of electricity is reduced, since the load on industrial facilities is small. The rest of the time, the calculation is carried out at an increased price.
Differentiated by consumption rates
This electricity tariff in Belarus for the population is calculated for a different period of time. If in previous cases a day was taken for the period, then here it is more global - the dependence of the price on the month is determined. This type of tariff takes into account:
- period of minimum load on industrial facilities;
- hours of average load on the power system;
- time of the most intense work.
During the period of minimal (according to statistics) load on energy facilities, the cost of electricity is lower. This division is due to the cost of generating electricity in certain periods.
As in the previous form of the tariff, the hours of least load are in the range from eleven in the evening to six in the morning. Peaks of maximum load are set from eight to eleven in the morning and from six to nine in the evening.
If you pay at differentiated rates, you can save. You can save your home budget with a competent approach to the financial side of this issue.
State regulation
One of the most consumed resources is precisely electricity. Tariffs (Belarus) are set for this reason at the state level. Decisions of the Council of Ministers also determine the norms of consumption of this resource by the population. The main document in the regulation of rates is the declaration of the level of tariffs. The document must be registered with the Department of the Ministry of Economy on pricing policy. It is this paper that gives the right of the organization (Belenergo) to supply the resource to end consumers.
Bidding
Electricity consumption rates in Belarus, as well as rates for this type of resource are reviewed every six months. The amount of consumption is set new each time. Factors affecting the calculation of tariffs include:
- population size;
- counter installation;
- type of stove (gas or electric);
- the period during which the load is assigned to the system;
- special conditions (family-type orphanage, large families, disabled people);
- temporary differentiation.
Innovations in the settlement system
New laws have affected many industries, and electricity has also been included in this list. Tariffs (Belarus, 2015) have slightly changed. The cost of a kilowatt of energy was raised by twenty percent. This is due to the fact that, unlike the previous period, the value added tax rate has been taken into account. Previously, this item of expenditure fell under government subsidies. But even in this situation, the population is not able to repay all the costs of the country. In 2016, residents of the Republic of Belarus were able to cover only two-thirds of the costs.
The impact of living conditions
Electricity standards in Belarus depend on many factors. One of them is the availability of an electric stove.
If a gas-powered device is installed in the apartment, then for one kilowatt of energy the consumer must pay the minimum cost - 0.1188 rubles. But at the same time, the consumption limit is one hundred and fifty kilowatts. If the established threshold is exceeded, accruals will go at a new price - 0.155. But in case of crossing the threshold of three hundred kilowatts, the consumer will have to pay 0.19 rubles, that is, to compensate all losses to the state.
Owners of an electric stove pay for the spent resource also depending on the quantity. But at the same time, the norm will be increased. Up to two hundred and fifty kilowatts - the price is 0.1013 rubles, up to four hundred - 0.13117, over four hundred - 0.19. It also means reimbursement of all economically justified costs to the state.
