Given the trend of constant growth of the tariffs for energy, we offer several options to reduce the private consumers' costs for electricity consumed.
1. First of all – multi-tariff accounting of the electric power.
A few people know that the household consumers have the right to fulfill transition from single tariff accounting to multi-tariff, when the cost of electricity consumed is directly dependent on the time of day.
To calculate the cost of electricity consumed, the relevant tariff rates for multirate accounting. The table lists the tariff rates and the duration of their application periods:
| Time period | night | day | semi-peak | peak |
| Dual-zone tariffs | ||||
| Tariff rates | 0,5 | 1,0 | - | - |
| Duration of the period, hours | 8 | 16 | - | - |
| Triple-zone tariffs | ||||
| Tariff rates | 0,4 | - | 1,0 | 1,5 |
| Duration of the period, hours | 8 | - | 11 | 5 |
It is easy to see that after transition, for example, to the dual-zone tariff the household consumer gains such benefits as 50% discount on the electricity consumed at night. At the same time the daily rate remains unchanged.
It should be noted that for the private consumer the feasibility of differentiated accounting is determined by the ability to consume electricity at night. It is possible to reach the optimal economic effect through combination of the multi-rate accounting and use of the equipment that does not consume electricity from the grid in the daytime:
• heat accumulating tanks;
• heat accumulators (ceramic panels);
• gas boiler / water heater;
or independent sources of heat and / or electricity:
• solar collectors;
• solar thermal power plant;
• solar power plant.
2. Second – application of the tariff for electric heating.
In accordance with the current legislation the feed-in tariff is foreseen for the households using electricity for heating of the private houses (apartments).
Electricity tariffs in kopeks per 1 kWh with VAT for heating period 2017-2018 will be:
| To the population: | |
| for the amount of electricity up to 100 kWh consumed per month | 90 |
| for the amount of electricity over 100 kWh consumed per month | 168 |
| To the population living in houses equipped with electro-heating installations: | |
| for the amount of electricity up to 3000 kWh consumed per month | 90 |
| for the amount of electricity over 3000 kWh consumed per month | 168 |
Consider the calculation the estimated cost of electricity for the population with the usual tariff, dual-zone tariff and dual-zone with the use of feed-in tariffs on electric heating.
With proper distribution of daily energy consumption and applying multi-tariff accounting it's possible to save a lot of money, and the combination of multi-tariff accounting and the feed-in tariff for electric heating provides even more savings.
Please note that the use of feed-in tariffs require the installation of multi-tariff accounting and the use of electric installations for heating your home (electric boiler, electric convector, heat pump, electric floor heating, etc.).
For obtaining the feed-in tariff it is necessary:
• implementation of the project of Internal electrical equipment of the residential building (hereinafter – the Project) and its further approval at the respective authority;
• obtaining the Permission (based on the approved Project) for the use of electric heating equipment and application of the feed-in tariff;
• amending the existing Agreement on electricity use (based on the above mentioned Permission).
