Full Price for Power

MOSCOW (MT) -- Citizens should start fully paying for electricity in two years a Federal Energy Commission board member said Thursday.

"This needs to be implemented in under two years because it is impossible to establish a competitive electricity market without putting an end to the practice of cross-subsidizing," Pavel Gorkin was quoted by Interfax as saying.

He added that expenses on transmission of electricity to households are significantly higher than to industrial consumers.

For example, he said, Muscovites should pay 1.8 rubles per kilowatt hour -- almost twice the 1 ruble they currently pay.

"Why do we put everyone on the welfare list? There are those who can pay more," he said.
