At the end of 2021, RA Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) set the tariffs for electricity sold to consumers by "Electric Networks of Armenia" CJSC, which will be effective from February 1, 2022.
Tariffs for socially vulnerable families (about 11% of resident subscribers) will remain unchanged. The day and night tariffs for these subscribers will remain at 29.99 AMD and 19.99 AMD, respectively. Tariffs for residents consuming up to 200 kWh per month (55% of resident subscribers) will increase by AMD 1.5/kWh (including VAT). The daily tariff will become 46.48 AMD instead of the current 44.98 AMD, the night tariff 36.48 drams instead of 34.98 drams. Tariffs for residents consuming 201-400 kWh per month (25% of resident subscribers) will increase by 3.5 AMD/kWh (including VAT).
The daytime tariff will become 48.48 AMD instead of the current 44.98 AMD, the nighttime tariff will become 38.48 AMD instead of the current 34.98 AMD. Tariffs for other consumers will increase by 5.5 AMD/kWh (including VAT). The daytime tariff will become 53.48 AMD instead of the current 47.98 AMD, the night tariff will be 43.48 AMD instead of the current 37.98 AMD. According to PSRC, the factors that have a negative impact on the electricity tariff are as follows:
· Change of repayment and maintenance costs of soft loans received with the guarantee of the Government of the Republic of Armenia in accordance with the loan agreements.
The activity of "Hrazdan-5" station of "Gazprom Armenia" CJSC conditioned by the obligation stipulated by the agreement signed between the governments of the Republic of Armenia and the Russian Federation.
· Compensation for investments in the form of depreciation and profit increased by about 9.9 billion AMD (excluding VAT) in the power system in 2021.
