Vitrenko proposes that the gas supplier should be chosen by an association of consumers

Acting Minister of Energy of Ukraine Yurii Vitrenko proposes implementing in Ukraine the practice of selecting suppliers by an association of consumers, which is used in Europe. This will help protect consumers in the gas market. He wrote about this on his Facebook page.

“In Ukraine, it is possible to use united territorial communities for this. They will choose a supplier for those who do not want or cannot do it independently. Moreover, this will be the default, that is, if you have not chosen a supplier yourself, OTG will do it for you,” Vitrenko wrote.

He also noted that this would apply to those consumers, whose supplier has automatically become the "supplier of last resort", that is, Naftogaz.

“To implement this option, legislative changes are needed, but the deputies of the Servant to the People faction promised to work on it,” he said.

Recall that the government proposes to fix the gas price for consumers for a year.
