Power consumption can become decisive when choosing household appliances

It is published as advertising in 2014 Russia can switch to social norms of electricity consumption. Exact limits are not yet known, but so far we are talking about 75-100 kW per person. A family that does not fit into this framework will pay for the consumption of electricity in excess of the norm at an increased tariff.

This year, the Trans -Baikal and Krasnoyarsk Territory, Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Oryol, Rostov and Samara region will take part in the experiment. New principles are indicated in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the procedure for establishing and applying the social norm of consumption of electric energy (power) and on amendments to some acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on the establishment and application of the social norm of consumption of electric energy (power)”.

For a simple layman, this means that the use of such gifts of progress as air conditioners, washing and dishwashers, coffee machines and heaters will become an additional financial load. At http://appliances.wikimart.ru/climatic/ already offered a service for calculating the consumption of air conditioners. Perhaps in the future it is the device’s energy class that will become one of the decisive factors when choosing.

Despite the assurances of the authorities that more than 70% of the population will fall into the corridor of the social norm, the mood of Russians still remain pessimistic. In the "pilot" regions to social norms will be transferred from September.
