- Svetlana, the issue of tariffs is purely technical in nature? Or are there fundamental differences?
-A bit of everything. When there was a project of the APEC summit in the Ministry of Regional Development estimated that the Russian island will consume more than 40 MW of electrical power and 120-130 Gcal /h of heat stress. Under this load designed and built the station "North", "Central" and "Aquarium". As a result, the current consumption is saved only at the level of 30-35% of the project level and the same is predicted for 2014. And this despite the fact that the customer refused the construction of a fourth-generation plant -"Communal" - intended to supply state residence of the Russian Federation. In fact, if we now preserve the "North", that is enough for a "central". And then, the latter will be loaded only by 60-65%. Talk about the economic feasibility of, you know, is not necessary.
- In fact, the state has overdone?
- Power up for the future, but to pay for the future development of a loss of power engineering is fundamentallytrue. Yes, not every day that Russia spends less significant from the point of view of public international events. But since I have undertaken to equip the island, you have to complete all undertakings. Otherwise it is necessary to conserve the excess capacity that can hardly be called a "state" approach.
Of course, at the state level, there are problems, the priorities of which is not discussed. However, in my opinion, we should not forget that the construction of poweron the island of Russian, as in the whole process of renovation of the "big" energy - it is the task of a governmental nature. And it is not limited to the commissioning of the completed projects, but should also take into account the consequences of the tariff for consumers. In other words, we must achieve a balance of interests both in terms of maintaining the technical reliability of power supply (renovation), provide opportunities for the development of the regional economy (increasing generation capacity and throughputthe ability of the electric grid complex) and to prevent the growth of tariffs for energy due to new construction. And to work out and adopt a balanced solution - a force of only the state.
Given the rapid pace of growth of energy infrastructure, which in itself is correct in perspective, the only way to contain the tariff burden is government funding or subsidy consumers.
If these solutions do notreceive timely, then the situation can lead to very negative consequences - both financial, such as our company, which increases the risk of bankruptcy, making it impossible to manage state investments in the energy development of the Far Eastern region, and for consumers, the quality and reliability of power supply which is directly dependent on the stability of the power supply organization.
- This is even though the rates are so high?
- In fact, in 2013 by thermal energy from generation sources are set fares at a level that does not cover the minimum necessary costs associated with the operation of the stations. We've already figured out that, given the serious underutilization of capacity DVEUK losses in 2013 will exceed 400 million rubles. And where to find the source of payment for fuel costs, staff salaries and taxes?
With respect to the tariff campaign in 2014 to say that in the case ofloading equipment in the combined regime of the calculated tariff for electric energy for CHP "North" and "Central" will exceed 5 rubles per 1 kW /h of heat - about 3 thousand 740 rubles per 1 Gcal (net of losses in 2013) . While the share of electric power generation and load stations in boiler electricity output from the "central" to fall to 25.1 million as a result, the electricity tariffs will be 9.4 rubles per kW /h, and the warmth - 3 thousand 974 rubles perGcal. After all, the production of two products in the energy division is rather relative. Released by heat or electricity to heat only - it does not matter. Fuel is still burnt, but in different modes. And depreciation is constant, also has an effect. Here tariffs and obtained higher than in the region, but they are economically feasible.
The consequences of a social nature in such tariffs are obvious. Unfortunately, the development of the legal framework for pricing of thermal energy is directed to the existence of the duty uniform heat supplier in the territory of the municipality. As a consequence, and the rate of heat should be a single. As we will disagree on this issue? I do not know. One thing is clear: you can not plant a Russian island of federally funded retirees to Vladivostok. This is wrong.
- What do you suggest?
In any case, a simple linear solutions can not be - is necessary to implement a set of measures, each of which play a role in reducing the tariff burden on consumers.
Priority actions should certainly be downloading stations at the maximum production of electric energy in the heating mode. Resolving this issue is not only depends on the manufacturer, affects the interests of "DGC" and JSC "DEK", requires the adoption of relevant decisions by the system operator, the FTS of Russia, the regulatory body of the subject of the Russian Federation.
In addition, you must also maintain a joint operation with the regional administration, by definition, load generating capacity of the island and alignment of tariff policy on the basis of delivered energy of not only the current situation but of long-term plans (3-5 years) development of infrastructure, including new construction - housing, commercial real estate.
These measures will not solve the problem overnight to bring tariffs to the level of Russian mainland Vladivostok, but they are vital to deal with this very difficult problem in the medium term.
- And if you carry electricity to Vladivostok?
- We are working on this issue and also. The problem is that this is not so simple. Consumption of Vladivostok is conditionally constant (in the relevant range). And, to drive a wedge into the stream, "Maritime generation" (branch of "DHA." - Comm. Aut.) Will have to unload the SS-2. However, it is necessary to take into account the technological possibility (or impossibility) of unloading stations south of Primorye, as well as the capacity of power grid facilities of "Far-Eastern Distribution" on the mainland of Vladivostok.
Again, this decision affects the level of prices in the wholesale market and should be considered in the formation of tariff decisions for the coming year.
- Your resume to this situation?
- Building on the Russian showed that ensuring the economic efficiency of investment in the construction of a state-wide, in particular objects "big" energy - a multi-level and a very difficult task. In addition to addressing the source of investment, requires working off life support schemes constructed facilities in terms of covering the costs of their maintenance and operation - "load" tariff wrong in principle, to shift the problem onto the shoulders of Power - also not a way out. And one and the other approaches lead to a dead end, because they are directed only at veiling the problem, not the solution.
In order to form a balanced approach of pricing in the medium term, a collaborative effort of all stakeholders in the process of power - of "DVEUK" system operator "DGC", JSC "DEK", the Primorsky Territory Administration, the main consumers (Palo), FTS of Russia, Ministry of Energy . The only way to work out a solution that will provide a balance of interests of all the participants of supply. And that, in fact, the most difficult - to reduce all at the same table in order to solve a common problem.
We have already offered to host a meeting of the regional administration, in order to then go to the government level, with a clear and specific project. However, while the power of silence.
P.S. "ZR" would take the material formal request to the authorities of Primorsky Krai. Newspaper stand ready to publish the relevant authorities on the island of Russian energy.
