\n\tArmenia has the highest electricity rate not only in the Eurasian Economic Union, but also among all CIS countries, Union of Informed Citizens NGO reported on Wednesday, June 17.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKaren Vardanyan, expert of NGO, has prepared a comparative table (below)<\/em> on electricity prices in 15 post-Soviet republics, based on which, among post-Soviet countries only Lithuania and Latvia have higher rates for electricity compared to Armenia.  \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rate is approximately the same in Moldova. In Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgisia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Estonia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, electricity rates are lower than in Armenia.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tRecall, in May 2015, Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) appealed to the RA Public Services Regulatory Commission with a claim to increase the electricity tariff by 17 drams per kW\/h. However, the PSRC is planning<\/span><\/a> to increase the tariff for electricity supplied to consumers by 7 drams: a kilowatt-hour of energy will cost 48.78 drams during the daytime (previously – 41.85 drams), and 38.78 drams – the nighttime (previously – 31.85).\n<\/p>\n
