Abstract

Extremely high heat tariffs and their permanent growth in the remote regions of the Russian Federation become a considerable barrier to further development of these regions. Therefore, the limitation of the heat tariff increase in the regions is an important goal of energy policy. On the example of two districts of the Kamchatka Territory, the effectiveness of gasification of remote boiler plants with liquefied natural gas is shown as a means of restraining an excessive increase in tariffs for thermal energy. A competitive price for liquefied natural gas has been determined for remote boilers in Kamchatka, and the commercial efficiency of construction of boilers using liquefied natural gas has been evaluated.

Highlights

  • In the Ust-Bolsheretsk region, centralized heat supply is provided by 7 boiler plants, of which 6 work on coal and 1 on fuel oil

  • The high level of tariffs for heat energy is one of the main problems of heat supply in the Russian Federation

  • According to the data given in [1], this problem is most acute in the eastern regions of Russia

Summary

Introduction

In the Ust-Bolsheretsk region, centralized heat supply is provided by 7 boiler plants, of which 6 work on coal and 1 on fuel oil. The possibility of gasification of remote boiler plants in the region arose with the emergence of the PAO NOVATEK project for the construction of an LNG transshipment terminal in Kamchatka in order to reduce the cost of LNG delivery from Yamal to the countries of North-East Asia (NEA) [5].
