Ukraine’s government said it will mandate energy providers to have discounted, fixed electricity tariffs for residents of apartment buildings lacking central heating or gas supply, according to Taras Melnychuk, the government’s representative in the Verkhovna Rada.

These new rates will apply to consumers living in multi-apartment buildings where:

  • Centralized or autonomous heating systems are absent.
  • The building is not connected to a natural gas network.
  • Heating systems are non-functional, or electricity serves as the sole energy source.

The policy aims to offer clear and targeted discounts to support households without alternative heating options.

It  follows news that the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities (NCSREU) has green-lit new tariffs for Ukrenergo for 2025.  The power transmission tariff will increase from 528.57 hryvnias/MWh to 686.23 hryvnias/MWh while  “green” electrometallurgy enterprises will face the tariff of 359.55 hryvnias/MWh.  IN contrast, the dispatching tariff will drop to 98.97 hryvnias/MWh from the current 104.57 hryvnias/MWh.

Alexey Brekht, the acting head of Ukrenergo, said that the new tariff reflects nearly the full scope of the company’s special obligations, and  will help prevent bigger debts in the electricity market.
