The chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev (the Servant of the People faction), reported that gas prices for the population will remain unchanged until October 1.
He wrote about this in his Telegram channel, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
As Hetmantsev noted, the PSO on the natural gas market has been extended for the non-heating season.
The term for imposing special duties, which ended on April 30, has been extended until October 31, 2025.
This means that LLC Naftogaz Trading will sell natural gas at special prices until the end of October to natural gas suppliers in the volumes required by household consumers, as well as to operators of gas distribution systems (in the amount of regulatory, excess losses and production and technological costs, losses caused by military actions and incurred in connection with the prevention/settlement of humanitarian crisis situations).
The state-controlled PJSC Ukrnafta has been added to the list of entities that are obliged to sell gas to Naftogaz of Ukraine national joint-stock company to form a resource from it to provide household consumers, operators of gas distribution systems, electricity producers and heat producers.
Hetmantsev reported that LLC Naftogaz Trading will supply gas to business entities engaged in electricity production during the non-heating period at the following prices per 1,000 cubic meters of gas:
- for CHPPs that produce electricity in the heat-generation cycle - UAH 18,000 (including VAT);
- for TPPs and CHPPs that produce electricity in the condensation cycle - UAH 14,000 (including VAT);
- for gas turbine and gas piston plants that produce exclusively electricity - UAH 14,000 (including VAT);
- for gas turbine and gas piston plants that produce electricity and heat in a combined way - UAH 18,000 (including VAT).
Hetmantsev also added that the price of gas on the domestic market in March was almost UAH 17,600.
“Due to the systematic attacks of “peace-minded” russia on Ukraine’s gas infrastructure, Ukraine’s own production of natural gas is decreasing.
According to experts, because of this, by the next heating season we will need to import approximately 4.5-4.6 billion cubic meters of gas, and it is more expensive (on March 31 at the TTF gas hub - almost USD 464 per 1,000 cubic meters) and the Europeans themselves will need more of it, since they came out of the heating season, which ended, with fewer reserves than from the previous one,” Hetmantsev wrote.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Ukraine will have to purchase from 1 to 2 billion cubic meters of gas this year to prepare for the next heating season.
At the end of February, DTEK director general Maksym Timchenko noted that the exact volume of imports will depend on the restoration of gas infrastructure, production and weather conditions.
