The Cabinet of Ministers has extended special obligations in the electricity market until April 30, 2026. This means that tariffs for households will remain unchanged at least for the coming winter and part of the spring.

In addition, the preferential price for consumers who use electric heating has been preserved. The following system will apply to them:

The Government also continued to impose special obligations on natural gas market players. The fixed price for natural gas for households and budgetary institutions will remain unchanged until March 31, 2026.
The Cabinet of Ministers banned the disconnection of electricity and gas to some debtors
Earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers banned the disconnection of electricity and gas to debtors in the frontline areas during the upcoming heating season.
The Cabinet of Ministers has instructed the relevant authorities to develop plans for a stable heating season. They should do so taking into account the current situation in each frontline region.
“The supply of electricity and gas must be uninterrupted, so disconnections for debts accumulated during martial law are unacceptable. The government has given a corresponding order,” Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko emphasized.
According to her, the purpose of this decision is to ensure the stable operation of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the winter, as well as to provide citizens with heat and light, regardless of enemy attacks.
