The Ministry of Energy thinks it’s reasonable to set gas price in Russia depending on the season, the Vice Minister K. Molodtsov says. The suggestion should be analyzed concerning transport constituent and gas storing. Earlier the suggestion to set gas price in Russia depending on the season was made by the independent gas producers, the chief of Novatek L. Mikhelson in particular. He suggested to raise the winter prices higher, and the summer price by the inflation grade only in the current situation, when tough regulation remains.
