Stability of electricity prices, low consumption / new details of home subscribers in 31 provinces of the country

According to Fars News Agency’s economic correspondent, after enduring 2 years of power outages in summer due to a significant increase in household consumption due to irregular consumption and without accounts and books of high-income groups, finally the cabinet in the correct action and approved by energy experts The task of the Islamic Consultative Assembly in paragraph “y” of Note 8 of the Budget Law of 1400 decided to reform the electricity tariff system.

Prior to the Cabinet’s electrical approval, the country’s electricity tariff system was established in such a way that بهای The cost of electricity resulting from the cost of converting energy and the cost of distribution was significantly different from the cost of selling electricity to subscribers, and home subscribers used electricity at a very low cost. We paid the difference in price and the selling price was paid from public sources.

In this tariff system, which is known as the subsidy tariff system, higher consumption means more use of subsidies belonging to all people, and this creates the ground for injustice.

* The rich have to pay interest for consumption higher than the electricity pattern

In this regard, Ahmad Tavakoli, a member of the Expediency Discernment Council, in an interview with Fars Economic Reporter, while emphasizing that the beneficiaries do not have the right to consume cheap energy higher than the set model, and incidentally this higher consumption limit should be obtained by calculating their profit. “The electricity tariff system has been built on the wrong foundations for years, because decision-makers tended to be richer than the rest of society, and this caused great damage to the country,” he said.

“If a decision allows the rich to use a commodity below the price it produces, it means it will be taken from the pockets of the poor, while the opposite should be true,” Tavakoli said.

* Low-consumption consumers should not worry about rising electricity prices

Of course, similar to previous years, high-consumption electricity consumers, who always caused other blackouts and problems for other people and low-consumption due to improper use of electricity, instead of moving to reduce electricity consumption, sought to inflame space and generalize their problem to other people.

This happens in situations where electricity tariffs for low-consumption subscribers and even Tariff Electricity has not changed according to the pattern of high-consumption subscribers compared to the past, and these subscribers benefit from subsidized electricity to consume electricity according to their consumption pattern, which is determined according to the climatic conditions of the living area.

According to Fars, According to the latest documented statistics provided by Tavanir Company, 75% of electricity subscribers across the country are considered low-consumption subscribers, of which only less than 4% of subscribers use more than 1.5 times the electricity consumption pattern.

A look at the situation of household electricity consumption in the provinces of the country makes it clear that many subscribers in a significant part of the provinces of the country are always low-consumption subscribers and should not have any worries about changing the tariff system, because according to cزئیات The government’s electricity bill does not expect a price increase for low-electricity subscribers.
