Enel Russia & CIS, a leading investor in the Russian power sector, has said regulated power tariffs are too low and suggested that the Kremlin raises them to incentivize the necessary investment in new plant as dictated by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

Since market liberalization in 2008, Russia's power plant programme has stalled due to a lack of clarification over the Kremlin's "long-term capacity market" mechanism, which would reward investors for the construction of new power plants.

Prime Minister Putin, who expects 20 GW of new capacity to be installed by 2012, signed a bill last month outlining a capacity market, but analysts say the new mechanism could amount to little more than "a tax and a lottery" and offer no long-term guarantees to investors.
Dominque Fache, general director for Enel Russia & CIS, said the only way for investors to be sure of a return on investment in new plant would be by raising regulated end-user tariffs that are often heavily subsidized.

"It is impossible to get a return on investment given existing electricity prices," said Fache, speaking at the Russia Power conference in Moscow today.

Just another little thing i found, good thing we are "buying american" This is why green is the new red.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enel

The "in lieu of taxes" thing doesnt make sense to me.  Can someone please explain it?  Im not sure how much taxes are, but why would a company pay say $1,000,000 in lieu of a $500,000 tax break?  What if they dont pay 3-4-5 years down the road, because they might not be making as much money as they want, what can be done? anything? 

Like granddaddy always said " if its too good to be true, then they lying to you"

what did you decide on the donuts, Id like to get some when i come to town for the dr

Does that mean its someone of influence in this society and because they have a "name" they get a pass.  Im sure someone came back looking for their stuff, why wasnt the area watched after the fact?

why dont you get on the board?

sorry patiriot there is a $410.77 stipend also paid towards the insurance, must have got cut off.

So what you are tell me is if you live on a street and have a semi burnt down house on either side that the owners dont want to clean up because of "PROPERTY RIGHTS", you will not have anything to say about it.  Or would you be at every city meeting demanding the city do something about those people cleaning up their properties.
