Abstract

Thermoelectric power plants which are the principal generators of thermal power in the service area and which generate electric power for which there is no demand in the electric power market may only be decommissioned within three years from the date of end of the transitional period of restructuring the electric power industry upon the decision of the respective body of executive power of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation upon agreement with the federal body of executive power authorized by the Government of the Russian Federation. In the event of a refusal to decommission the said facilities, a decision on necessary measures related to converting the said electric power plants into boiler houses or constructing alternative thermal sources in the service area shall be adopted simultaneously. These measures may be financed at the expense of the funds of budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation or local budgets or at the expense of a temporary individual price (tariff) for maximum available generating capacity specially imposed for the respective power plant (art. 13).
