In the city of Kropyvnytskyi, an increase in tariffs for centralized heat supply was agreed upon, the head of the regional department of economic development, Nina Rahuba, informed about it.
The increase in heat prices is associated with an increase in the cost of its components and consumables for the repair of networks and equipment, as well as the need to increase wages for employees due to an increase in the living wage.
It should be noted that Ukraine has a moratorium on raising tariffs for gas and heating for the population during hostilities. Heat tariffs for the population should remain at the level that was in effect before the start of a full-scale war in the country on February 24, 2022.
The difference between the current tariff and the real needs of enterprises will be compensated by the state from the state budget. It is important to note that objects that will not have meters will pay at the rate of UAH 50.85/sq.m. m, and those in which meters are installed - for UAH 3,811.49/Gcal. However, budget and other organizations will pay according to the new approved tariffs during the heating season.
