Electricity debt can mean lights out for Northern fleet bases
The Russian Defence ministry does not finance regularly the Northern fleet bases what led to significant electricity debts.
For example, Belomorsk navy base on the White Sea near Severodvinsk is to pay $629,000 electricity bill. Severodvinsk is the centre of Russian nuclear submarine shipbuilding.
