“The information that has been spread in a number of mass media that” the price of heating in Ukraine will be tripled “is manipulative,” the NAC said.
Details
The NJSC explained that the gas supply company Naftogaz has indeed set new gas prices – but under the terms of three-year contracts with the district heating company. “The price revision planned for June 1 was one of the conditions of the agreement that TKE voluntarily signed last year with Naftogaz. And the terms of the three-year contracts were agreed by the government,” the NAC said.
“It will not affect the payments of Ukrainians,” Naftogaz said.
The company also noted that on May 10, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a bill providing for a moratorium on raising gas prices and tariffs for heat and related services during the war.
He also predicts that part of the international financial assistance to Ukraine will be used to curb tariffs.
“These funds will compensate for the difference between economically justified and current tariffs, in particular for DH. This mechanism will also allow DH to pay for new gas prices with Naftogaz and repay overdue debts,” the NAC said.
Addition
Ukraine plans to freeze utility tariffs.
