The price remains 2 hryvnia 64 kopecks per kilowatt. Also, the provision on the imposition of special obligations on electricity market participants will be extended until May 31.
“This month, we approved a resolution that preserves the preferential gas price for heat and hot water suppliers for the population until the end of summer. Last week, the state-owned Naftogaz extended the preferential gas price for households. It will remain at UAH 7.96 per cubic meter of gas,” reminded Denys Shmyhal.
According to the Prime Minister, in January-March, the Government allocated UAH 113 billion from the state budget for social payments.
“Over the year, the average pension has increased by 10.6%. We make all payments in full and without any delays. We understand that, especially during the war, millions of Ukrainians need help and support. That is why prices for gas, water and heat have remained unchanged for more than 2 years,” emphasized Denys Shmyhal. (Government portal)
