Russia Delays Electricity Tariff Hike to October 2026
The Russian government has delayed a planned increase in electricity tariffs for households and transmission service rates. The rise was originally set for July 1, 2026, but will now occur on October 1, 2026. The postponement, announced recently, means the tariff changes will be implemented three months later than initially planned. This delay is reportedly to help manage economic and budgetary adjustments more effectively, although specific detailed reasons were not explicitly stated. The delay in electricity tariff increases gives Russian households and businesses more time to prepare for the change. The new implementation date is October 1, 2026.
