As of February 24, Ukraine paid to Russia for the supplied natural gas 1 billion 680 million dollars out of 3 billion 300 million due to the fault of the housing and communal services (HCS). Acting told reporters about this. Minister of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine Eduard Stavitsky.
“Payments for gas from Teplokommunenergo have practically stopped. Of course, there is heat in the houses, but we are not paid money for the gas consumed. This needs to be changed, ”Stavitsky said.
According to acting. Minister, it is necessary to switch to market prices for gas as in the countries of the European Union. This will require creating a heat and power market and moving away from the Soviet energy balance system “into a new dimension”.
Let us recall that experts and politicians have repeatedly stated that the population of Ukraine consumes natural gas produced domestically, the cost of which is several times lower than that of the Russian one.
Earlier it was reported that the main requirement of the IMF to provide the next tranche of financial assistance to Ukraine is a significant increase in tariffs for the population and market prices for energy resources.
