Orzhel: the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission is working to ensure that there are no separate payments for gas

The Minister of Energy and Environmental Protection of Ukraine Oleksiy Orzhel said on the air of the ICTV channel that the government and the Regulator were working to create a single gas bill.

“Our Regulator is independent, it should balance the interests of consumers and the industry, but now it’s being worked out so that there are no separate payments for gas transportation and consumption. Separate cost item , the amount to be paid, but not two payments, so as not to annoy the Ukrainians”, he said.

Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Public Services, Andriy Gerus, also said that the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission is ready to make the appropriate changes to even out the gas transmission charges for consumers:

“If there is little gas consumed, or not consumed at all, then this payment should be minimal, symbolic. For example, if the apartment has a gas stove, and no one has lived in this apartment during the last year, then such a fee will be about 4 UAH after the amendments made by the National Regulatory Commission”.

To recap, the Cabinet of Ministers introduced changes in the formation of gas prices for the population and district heating companies.
