From June 1, we will pay almost twice as much for electricity: the Cabinet of Ministers raised the tariff for the population
The single tariff will be UAH 2.64 per kilowatt-hour instead of UAH 1.44 and UAH 1.68.
The Cabinet of Ministers at its meeting almost doubled the tariff for electricity for the population from June 1, to the level of UAH 2.64 per kWh.
This was reported to UNIAN by a source in the government, noting that now for individual household consumers the tariff is 1.44 hryvnias per kilowatt-hour with consumption up to 250 kilowatts and 1.68 hryvnias – if more than 250 kilowatt-hours per month.
However, at the suggestion of the Ministry of Energy, from June 1, the government introduced a single tariff for electricity in the amount of 2 hryvnia 64 kopecks. per kilowatt hour.
The relevant information about the approval of the new electricity tariff by the Cabinet of Ministers of UNIAN was also confirmed by the People’s Deputy, member of the Committee on Energy and Utilities Oleksiy Kucherenko.

Tariffs during the war
Earlier it was reported that electricity tariffs in Ukraine may change in the near future. From June 1, Ukraine may introduce a single tariff for electricity for household consumers at the level of 2.88 hryvnia per kWh. This proposal will be considered by the Cabinet of Ministers. The increase in prices is due to the need to restore the system after missile attacks.
Recall that at the moment, electricity tariffs remain at the pre-war level and amount to 1.44 hryvnia per kWh, if the family consumes up to 250 kWh per month, and 1.68 hryvnia per kWh, if the monthly consumption exceeds 250 kWh.
