Counting on money for saving electricity? Don’t rush to celebrate
UNIAN asked energy experts how the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities (NKREKU) innovation, intended to encourage Ukrainians to save electricity during peak hours, might work. There are no concrete terms yet, but specialists allow for several options.
The most pleasant of them is money. Vladimir Omelchenko, Director of Energy Programs at the Razumkov Center, suggests that the reward could work like cashback. For example, if a household in winter consumes less than a certain amount of electricity from 17:00 to 23:00, it could be paid 200–300 UAH. For this, they might hypothetically use Diia.
Energy expert Hennadiy Ryabtsev considers time-of-day tariffs one of the possible options. In his example, electricity could cost, hypothetically, 8 UAH per kWh during peak hours, 4 UAH during the day, and 2 UAH at night.
So far this is only a draft resolution. What the reward will be, who will be able to receive it, and exactly how savings will be calculated have not yet been determined.
From “yeBachok” to “yeNichnychok.”
