The National Energy and Utilities Regulation Commission (NEURC) is raising the price of electricity to UAH 0.90 / kWh (if consumption remains within 100 kWh per month) and UAH 1.68 / kWh (if the threshold is exceeded), in accordance with the previously adopted schedule.
The move was laid in a NEURC resolution passed late February 2015.
This is the fifth planned increase in electricity tariffs for the households.
Compared with April 2015, the electricity tariffs increased by 3.5 times.
