New tariffs for electricity in Ukraine, what will change for citizens?

Since June 1, the electricity tariff in Ukraine will be increased. Although the Cabinet of Ministers Resolution has not yet been published in public, the deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada profile committee and several experts have already noted the expected changes. According to their forecasts, for those who consume more than 100 kWh per month, the price will increase from 2.64 to 4.8 UAH per kWh.

Oleksiy Kucherenko, First Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, posted on Facebook his remarks to the explanatory note of the CMU Resolution on raising the tariff for electricity for the population. He noted that the document has no convincing arguments, except for a simple statement about the market price of 7.47 UAH, which, with his opinion, is not sufficiently justified.

This tariff increase will additionally raise UAH 65 billion a year. According to the information obtained during the broadcasting of the Tele scale, the director of the Razumkov Center of Razumkov Vladimir Omelchenko also confirmed this increase.

The tariff will remain unchanged for those who consume small amounts of electricity. For example, the average refrigerator consumes 30 kWh per month and the computer is 45 kWh. However, the average consumption in Ukraine is 168 kWh per month, so most citizens of the country hope to increase the amount of their electricity accounts.

The calculations show how the amount of payment per month will change depending on the amount of consumption: for 100 kWh the price will remain at the level of 264 UAH; for 168 kWh (average consumption) it will increase from 443.5 to 806.4 UAH; And for 300 kWh, it will increase from 792 to 1 440 UAH.

It is worth noting that now, according to the estimates of the Ministry of Energy, the cost of generation and delivery of electricity is up to 8 UAH. At the current tariff, Ukrainians pay only the distribution of electricity, not its production.
