How much will increase utility tariffs from July 1, 2027

Another increase in utility fees is expected from July 1, 2027. According to the updated macroeconomic forecast, the average indexation may be 11%, and growth will continue in the next two years.

The new parameters were significantly higher than those laid earlier. The previous forecast assumed an increase in utility tariffs in 2027 by 8.7%. Now the benchmark has been increased to 11%. In 2028, indexation is expected by 8.6% instead of the previous 7.1%, and in 2029 - by 7.6% instead of 6.1%. We are talking about forecast averages, so the actual change in payments of a particular consumer may differ.

More than previous expectations, individual resources may rise in price. According to the presented parameters, electricity for the population in 2027 can add 14.4% instead of the previously expected 8.6%. Wholesale gas prices are expected to increase by 10.4%, while the previous estimate was 9.1%.

Before that, Russians are waiting for indexation in the autumn of 2026. This year, the next stage of the increase was postponed from the usual July to October 1. At the same time, the specific increase in fees depends on the region, the municipality and the set of utilities: for example, an average index of 15% is set for Udmurtia.

The revision of the forecasts is associated, among other things, with the changed inflation picture and new expectations for the cost of gas and electricity. At the same time, the utilities industry continues to discuss mechanisms for financing the modernization of worn-out infrastructure and attracting additional investments.
