Abstract
The paper analyzes the relative prices for energy sources which were observed in Russian federal districts of over 2000-2006. We analyze the dynamics and key factors of relative prices for coal and gas, and identify the areas according to the different coal-gas prices ratios. We find that at present relative prices for oil and gas, the excessive consumption of gas can be observed in the Russian economy.
