Gas tariffs in Russia will rise by 20% a year due to Gazprom's problems.

The Russian government is considering the possibility of raising gas prices for industry

The Russian authorities are discussing the possibility of sharply increasing gas prices for industry in order to replenish the budget of Gazprom, which is suffering significant losses due to the loss of the European market. It is planned to index gas tariffs for industrial consumers by 10% twice a year, which is more than twice the current government's plan. Such a price increase should help the company compensate for the losses.

After the invasion of Ukraine, Gazprom lost a significant portion of its gas exports, leading to a reduction in supplies to the European market. According to estimates, the company has lost billions of rubles as a result. In record time, all previous losses have been exceeded, and further increases in gas prices may only complicate the situation for Gazprom.
