Already in January 2021, the price of gas distribution may rise. This was announced on the air of “Breakfast with 1 + 1” by a member of the commission for regulation of policy in the field of energy and utilities Olga Babiy, UNN reports.
“It is not a fact that prices will rise in December. Because the price of gas as a commodity, which already exists, is likely to remain at the same level. We have a market price of gas from January 1, 2020. And when we talk about the price of gas distribution as a commodity, you get two payments – one gas payment, one distribution payment. Distribution may become more expensive and its price will be affected by the price of gas,” Babiy said.
According to her, Ukrainians will continue to receive two payments each.
“We now see how the price of gas from different suppliers’ ranges from 6 to 8 thousand hryvnias. In fact, this department of supply and the department of gas as a commodity, gave people the opportunity to choose gas as a commodity, much cheaper and we now see it, “- added a member of the commission.
We will remind, the volume of gas in underground storages of Ukraine as of November 13 decreased to 27,730 billion cubic meters. m.
