The government has decided on the price of electricity for residential consumers. We explain what will change for Ukrainians in the coming month and how this will affect utility bills.
What will electricity prices be in September for 1
The government has decided to keep the base price for utility services unchanged, which will allow Ukrainian families to plan their expenses without the risk of a sudden price increase. For the majority of residential consumers, the cost of one kilowatt-hour is 4,32 hryvnias, according to former Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko.
A price stability guarantee is the mechanism of imposing special obligations, which protects civilians from jumps in market prices. At the same time, the situation for the commercial sector is different, as fully market conditions already apply to business.
Will there be preferential tariffs for households
A separate support mechanism is provided for households where electricity serves as the main source of heating. Throughout the heating season, which runs from 1 October to 30 April, such consumers will have a reduced price.
In particular, provided monthly consumption up to 2 000 kilowatt-hours will pay 2,64 hryvnias per kilowatt-hour. If the volume exceeds this limit, the entire surplus is calculated at the standard tariff of 4,32 hryvnias.
Are two-zone and three-zone meters advantageous
Significantly reducing the monthly utility bill is possible with a multi-zone meter. When using a two-zone device, nighttime electricity from 23:00 to 07:00 costs 2,16 hryvnias per kilowatt-hour, allowing savings of 50% from the base price, according to Lvivoblenergo.
Interesting! With an average monthly consumption of 200 kilowatt-hours, this saving is about 79 hryvnias, and using 800 kilowatt-hours reduces the bill by 317 hryvnias.
Even greater differentiation is offered by a three-zone device, where the night rate drops to 1,73 hryvnias, while during peak hours from 8:00 to 11:00 and from 20:00 to 22:00, the cost rises to 6,48 hryvnias per kilowatt-hour.
Additionally, we previously explained what to do if the electricity meter breaks or shows incorrect readings, and how charges will be calculated in such cases.
