Remember:
In Ukraine over the past year there has been a significant increase in the cost of housing and communal services. The State Statistics Service reported that on average tariffs increased by 13%.
The price of electricity – the tariff – has increased especially sharply for consumers increased by 69.7%, reaching 2.64 hryvnia per kWh. Previously, by June 2023, prices were 1.44 hryvnia per kWh for consumption up to 150 kWh per month and 1.68 hryvnia per kWh for a larger volume of consumption.
In addition to electricity, the services for garbage collection (by 8.7%), management of apartment buildings (by 2.7%), sewerage (by 0.7%) and water supply (by 0.8%) increased in price.< /p>
Earlier it became known that Ukraine should increase tariffs for gas, heating and hot water. In 2024, Ukrainians will pay for gas, hot water and heat at the same rates as this year. However, after the lifting of the moratorium, which may occur in 2025, price increases cannot be avoided.
