The Cabinet of Ministers has decided not to raise electricity prices for the population until May.
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this at a government meeting, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"On April 1, we had to end a special period with preferential electricity prices. Therefore, today the Government decides to extend it. The mechanism of assigned social duty will continue to operate until April 30 this year. That is, the price of electricity, as we promised, remains unchanged until the end of the heating season," he said.
Thus, the cost of electricity for the population will remain at UAH 1.44 per kWh for the first 250 kWh per month.
For those who consume more than 250 kWh of electricity per month, the tariff until April 30 will remain at UAH 1.68 per kWh.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in October 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers decided not to raise electricity prices for the population until April.
The Cabinet of Ministers reduced from October 2021 the cost of electricity for the population by 14.3% to UAH 1.44 per kWh for the first 250 kWh per month, and left the tariff at UAH 1.68 per kWh for those who consume more than 250 kWh of electricity per month.
This tariff was set from October 1 to April 30, 2022.
In April 2022, the tariffs were extended until October 31, 2022.
