The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended preferential gas prices for heat supply companies until September 30, 2026.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to a statement by Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
Thus, boiler rooms and heat and power plants will receive natural gas at a fixed price rather than the market price. They will be able to operate steadily, and Ukrainian homes, hospitals, and schools will continue to have heat and hot water.
“The winter was colder than expected. Enterprises used more gas than stipulated in the contracts. Therefore, the government also increased the fixed gas volumes for March – up to 10% for the needs of the population and budgetary institutions. The additional volume will allow heat and power plants to operate stably without the risk of shutdowns,” the statement said.
Svyrydenko noted that in order to adjust the volumes, enterprises must contact Naftogaz by March 16.
“Amid constant Russian attacks on heat-generating facilities, the state is ensuring the stable operation of the heat supply system. Enterprises will be able to complete this heating season without interruption and prepare for the next one,” the prime minister emphasized.
As a reminder, in 2026, the heating season in Ukraine will end ahead of schedule, given the temperature outside. Due to daytime warming to 15°C in a number of regional centers, heat and power companies began to adjust the operation of boiler rooms.
