Heating season and gas and heating prices.
Usually the beginning of the heating season in Ukraine falls on October 15, but the weather makes adjustments. The large-scale heating season begins when the average daily temperature for three days does not exceed +8.
In late September, NERC approved heating rates for high-rise buildings, which were sent to heating networks.
The tariff was divided into several components (the cost of heating and transport), so that the basic prices of heating in some cities even decreased, but at the same time delivery costs increased. In general, the price of heating will increase by up to 10%. That is, if the receipt for a one-room apartment in Kiev costs about 1,500 UAH per month, it will be 1,650 UAH.
In general, in October, the price of gas for domestic consumers will be from 4.7 to 6.8 hryvnia per cubic meter, taking into account delivery (depending on the region). The minimum cost compared to September will increase by 7.1%, the maximum will decrease by 2%.
