Extremely high heat tariffs and their permanent growth in the remote regions of the Russian Federation become a considerable barrier to further development of these regions. Therefore, the limitation of the heat tariff increase in the regions is an important goal of energy policy. On the example of two districts of the Kamchatka Territory, the effectiveness of gasification of remote boiler plants with liquefied natural gas is shown as a means of restraining an excessive increase in tariffs for thermal energy. A competitive price for liquefied natural gas has been determined for remote boilers in Kamchatka, and the commercial efficiency of construction of boilers using liquefied natural gas has been evaluated.
