[ad_1]

In Ukraine, since January 1, 2021, water rates have increased in Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa, Kharkov, Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, etc. For example, in Kiev now you have to pay 13.44 UAH for water supply and 9.55 UAH for drainage. In total, this is 22.99 UAH for every cubic meter of water.

This is stated in the decision of the National Commission in the Spheres of Energy and Public Services (NEURC). Prices in the capital will rise to UAH 14.74 for water supply and UAH 9.55 for drainage. In total, you will have to pay already 27.35 UAH for each cubic meter.

This price increase is explained by a 12% increase in wages and a 12% increase in electricity prices. In addition, reagents have to be paid an additional 11%, repairs have increased by 40% and capital investments by 15%.

Further:

  • In Ukraine, as of January 1, 2021, the rate for the first 100 kW * hour of electricity was increased from 90 kopecks to 1.68 UAH for every kW * hour.

  • We recalculate the gas subscription fee. The amount of cubic meters to be paid was recalculated (based on consumption volumes from October 2019 to October 2020) and the rate itself was increased.

  • In addition, gas rates were raised throughout the country.

As OBOZREVATEL reported, Ukraine approved a tariff increase for natural gas distribution from January 1, 2021. As a result, prices will rise 80% on average.

As of January 1, 2021, Naftogaz will stop connecting its customers with the annual fee. All those who managed to use this service will continue to receive blue fuel at a fixed price. The rest can use only the monthly rate.
