КРЕМ: Новых повышений коммунальных тарифов в IV квартале не будет 08.07.2025
В рамках принятого Правительством Республики Казахстан решения о пересмотре темпов роста регулируемых тарифов Комитет по регулированию естественных монополий Министерства национальной экономики сообщает, что ранее запланированные повышения тарифов будут частично перенесены на более поздние сроки.В четвёртом квартале 2025 года утверждение новых повышений по регулируемым коммунальным тарифам не планируется. Более того, предусмотрено снижение темпов их роста:по электро- и теплоснабжению — с 35% до 20%,по водоснабжению, водоотведению и газоснабжению — с 50% до 30%.Сдержать рост тарифов позволит перенос части ранее запланированных корректировок, привлечение долгосрочного финансирования, пересмотр операционных расходов субъектов естественных монополий, а также применение временных компенсирующих тарифов и перерасчётов за тепловую энергию за прошедший отопительный сезон.Изначально в 2025 году прогнозировалось влияние роста тарифов на инфляцию на уровне 1,32 процентного пункта. В связи с принятыми изменениями инфляционное давление будет сокращено на 0,5 п.п. и составит 0,82 п.п.Принятые меры направлены на поддержку покупательной способности граждан, стабилизацию ценовых ожиданий и устойчивое функционирование инфраструктуры. В дальнейшем повышение тарифов будет осуществляться сбалансированно с учётом социальной чувствительности и приоритетов государственной экономической политики.Как сообщалось ранее, в рамках реализации новой тарифной политики, направленной на модернизацию инженерной инфраструктуры, были предусмотрены поэтапные повышения тарифов на коммунальные услуги. Данные меры являлись необходимыми для привлечения инвестиций в обновление сетей, повышения заработной платы работников предприятий естественных монополий, а также в условиях роста цен на стратегически важные ресурсы, такие как электроэнергия, уголь и топливо.https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/krem/press/news/details/1031215 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1031238?lang=kk
