Reduction in Electricity Rates Coming to Almaty Starting February 1
Electricity Tariff Reduced for Almaty Residents Starting February 1
Good news for residents of Almaty! Starting from February 1, the electricity tariff for both households and legal entities in the city will be reduced. The announcement was made by the Committee for the Regulation of Natural Monopolies of the Ministry of National Economy.
The reduction in electricity tariffs is not due to a change in the VAT rate, but rather a result of measures taken by the Committee. The specific reasons for the reduction include a decrease in tariffs for electricity transmission, balancing, and capacity provision.
For households, the electricity tariff will be reduced by 1.5%, making the new rate 16.86 tengue per kilowatt-hour (without VAT). This change is expected to result in over half a billion tengue in savings for households.
Legal entities in Almaty will also benefit from the electricity tariff reduction, with a decrease of 1.2%. This means a saving of 820 million tengue for legal entities.
It's important to note that these changes apply specifically to Almaty and do not affect the VAT rate. For precise reasons and exact tariff changes (specific price points for households and legal entities), it is recommended to consult official announcements from Almaty's municipal authorities, the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan, or the local electricity supplier.
The press service of the Committee for the Regulation of Natural Monopolies of the Ministry of National Economy made the announcement, as reported by a correspondent for Almaty.tv. For more detailed information, it's advisable to stay updated with official announcements and local news sources.
The electricity tariff reduction for households and legal entities in Almaty is not solely connected to the VAT rate, but rather a consequence of measures initiated by the Committee for the Regulation of Natural Monopolies of the Ministry of National Economy. These measures involve a decrease in tariffs for electricity transmission, balancing, and capacity provision within the energy industry, impacting both finance and energy sectors.
