She added that households using electric heating, as well as apartment buildings not connected to gas or centralized or autonomous heating systems, will continue to benefit from a preferential tariff during the heating season. From Oct. 1 to April 30, such consumers will pay UAH 2.64 per kWh for electricity consumption of up to 2,000 kWh per month. Consumption above that threshold will be charged at the standard rate of UAH 4.32 per kWh. The government said the measure is aimed at reducing the financial burden on households, particularly those for whom electricity is the primary source of heating. The tariff extension comes amid ongoing challenges to Ukraine’s energy system caused by Russian attacks on infrastructure, which have led to power outages in several regions.
