The government has extended preferential gas prices for heat supply companies until October 31, and previously left them preferential for the population, so tariffs for heat and hot water remain unchanged, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Friday following a government meeting on Telegram, writes UNN.
Today, the government has made decisions aimed at supporting citizens and communities. The supply of natural gas under the PSO regime for heat supply companies will be extended until October 31 this year.
According to him, this decision means "preserving preferential gas prices for heat producers for the needs of the population and budgetary institutions."
He also pointed out that at the end of March, the government "extended preferential gas prices for the population."
"Accordingly, tariffs for heat, hot water and gas will continue to be unchanged," Shmyhal said.
And he added that "subsidies for the non-heating season will be automatically reassigned to the vast majority of those who currently receive them."
