EconomyPutin reportedly orders Russia to keep electricity prices 20% below China’s
Vladimir Putin has reportedly told the government to ensure Russian consumer electricity prices remain 20 percent below China’s in a long-term power infrastructure plan. The current plan through 2042 calls for 88.5 gigawatts of new capacity and upgrades to 66.4 gigawatts, costing about 40 trillion rubles, with another 17 trillion needed for power lines and distribution networks. The Energy Ministry says prices could double by 2042 if the current funding scheme continues.
