"연평균 21만가구, 전기요금 못내 사용 제한…연체도 늘어"

Quick Look

지난 3년간 전기요금 미납으로 인한 전류제한 가구가 연평균 21만5천여호에 달했으며, 연체 건수와 금액도 크게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 김승원 의원은 정부와 한전에 실효성 있는 전기요금 부담 완화 대책 마련을 촉구했다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

전기요금을 제때 내지 못해 한전으로부터 전기 사용을 제한받는 가구가 매년 20만호 안팎에 달하며, 전류제한은 월 최대 475kWh까지만 전력 사용을 허용하는 조치다.

김승원 "실효성 있는 전기요금 부담 완화 대책 마련해야"

(서울=연합뉴스) 김정진 기자 = 전기요금을 제때 내지 못해 한국전력공사로부터 전기 사용을 제한받는 가구가 해마다 20만호 안팎에 이르는 것으로 나타났다.

11일 국회 산업통상자원중소벤처기업위원회 소속 더불어민주당 김승원 의원실이 한전으로부터 제출받은 자료에 따르면, 지난 3년간 주거용 주택용전력 고객 가운데 전류제한을 받은 가구는 연평균 21만5천여호에 달했다.

연도별로는 2023년 21만9천호, 2024년 23만호, 2025년 19만8천호로 집계됐다. 올해 1∼8월에는 9만9천호가 전류제한을 받았다.

전류제한은 전기 요금을 내지 못한 가구에 단전 대신 월 최대 475kWh(킬로와트시)까지만 전력을 사용할 수 있도록 제한하는 조치다. 일반 가구는 3개월, 취약계층 가구는 6개월 이상 요금을 체납할 경우 해당 가구에 전류제한기를 설치한다.

같은 기간 전기요금 연체 부담도 커졌다.

2개월 이상 전기요금을 내지 못한 주거용 연체 건수는 2022년 말 42만7천건에서 2025년 말 51만7천건으로 21.1% 늘었다.

같은 기간 연체금액은 137억원에서 318억원으로 늘었고, 연체 가구 1호당 연체액도 3만2천원에서 6만2천원으로 두 배에 달했다.

한전은 연체 가구 지원을 위해 복지할인, 분할납부 등 제도를 운영하고 있지만 매년 20만 가구 안팎이 전류제한을 받는다는 점을 고려해 지원 사각지대를 점검해야 한다는 지적이 나온다.

김 의원은 "정부와 한전은 실효성 있는 전기요금 부담 완화 대책을 마련해야 한다"고 말했다.

Trump-Putin transit deal, impact on oil prices... Expert: “Supply is low.”

U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin announced an agreement on the supply of diesel, but experts analyzed that the supply amount was small compared to global diesel demand and would not have a significant impact on oil prices. There are observations that Russia could take advantage of the seasonal decline in demand to gain strategic advantage, and along with concerns about the neutralization of sanctions, doubts are also being raised about the possibility of actual implementation.

Russia confirms supply of 300,000 tons of diesel to the US and other countries this month... “Export restrictions lifted immediately”

Russia announced that it is ready to supply additional diesel to other countries, including the United States, as early as this month. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak said that after the phone call between President Putin and President Trump, restrictions on diesel exports will begin to be lifted immediately, adding that 300,000 tons of diesel can be supplied to the global market in October, and exports are expected to increase in November and December. President Trump also announced that he had agreed with President Putin to supply Russian diesel on a large scale to the U.S. and global markets, and announced through TruthSocial that he had agreed to supply more than 300,000 tons immediately, an additional 500,000 tons in November, and 1 million tons immediately thereafter. Russia then said that it would supply an additional 3 million tons of diesel fuel within a short period of time, and the Trump administration announced a temporary relaxation of sanctions against Russia, allowing the import of Russian diesel fuel into the United States.

International oil prices soar due to concerns over US-Iran attack and attack on Middle East oil tanker

International oil prices rose as concerns grew about disruptions in crude oil supply due to the possibility of the United States resuming large-scale military operations against Iran and increased attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East. WTI recorded $91.49 per barrel and Brent crude oil recorded $104.28, but gave up some of the gains as President Trump announced that he would not attack Iran before the midterm elections.
