BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 2. The Tariff (Price)
Council of Azerbaijan has announced new electricity tariffs, citing
the impact of rising natural gas prices on electricity production
costs and the need to ensure sustainable improvements in service
quality, Trend
reports.
For the public, the new monthly tariffs are as follows:
For consumption up to 200 kilowatt-hours (kWh), the tariff has
increased by 0.4 qepik (0.23 cents), or 5%, from 8 to 8.4 gapiks
(4.70-4.94 cents) per kWh.
For consumption between 200 and 300 kWh, the tariff has risen by
1 qepik (0.58 cents), or 11.1%, from 9 to 10 gapiks (5.29-5.88
cents) per kWh.
For consumption above 300 kWh, the tariff has increased by 2
qepik (1.17 cents), or 15.4%, from 13 to 15 gapiks (7.64-8.82
cents) per kWh.
As a result, the average tariff for electricity for the
population has risen by 0.7 qepik (0.41 cents), or 7.8%.
Following these changes, the expected increase in average
monthly costs for consumers is as follows:
65% of subscribers will see an increase of 45 gapiks (26.4
cents).
20% of subscribers will experience an increase of 1 manat and 33
gapiks (79.4 cents).
15% of subscribers, who consume more, will face an increase of 5

For most consumers, 65%, the increase in electricity costs is at
the lowest level-just 0.4 qepik (0.23 cents), or 5%.
To minimize the impact on consumer price indices, the
