Moscow residents will see an increase in utility rates starting July 1, 2025.

Sewerage services will increase by 12.6%, reaching 51.62 rubles per cubic meter. These new tariffs apply to all residents, regardless of whether they have individual meters.

Electricity tariffs will see an average increase of 12.6% to 22.8%. The exact amount depends on factors like whether the apartment has an electric stove and the time of day electricity is consumed.
