The National Commission for the State Regulation of Energy and Communal Services (Energy Commission) proposes to raise the price of electricity for the population to UAH 2.88 per kWh from June.
This is stated in the document of the Energy Commission, which Ukrainian News Agency has obtained.
In particular, the Energy Commission proposes to implement the first stage of adjustment of electricity prices for household consumers from June 1, using a single price without differentiation by consumption volumes at the level of UAH 2.88 per kWh (including VAT).
It is noted that the implementation of such changes will improve the financial indicators of Energoatom and Ukrhydroenergo and bring the mechanism of imposing special obligations to ensure the availability of electricity for household consumers closer to a balanced state.
Currently, the cost of electricity for the population is 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 is 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, in April - extended the current tariffs until May, and in May - until June.
The Cabinet of Ministers reduced the cost of electricity for the population by 14.3% from October 2021 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 consumes more than 250 kWh of electricity per month.
This tariff was established from October 1 to April 30, 2022.
In April 2022, the tariffs were extended until October 31, 2022.
