Ukraine adopts tariffs for natural gas transmission and distribution

On 28 March 2017 the National Commission for the State Regulation in the Energy and Utilities of Ukraine ("NEURC") adopted Resolution No. 348 "On establishing the tariffs for PJSC "Ukrtransgaz" for transportation of natural gas for consumers of Ukraine for entry and exit points" ("Resolution on transmission tariffs") and individual Resolutions for distribution companies on tariffs for distribution of gas.

The Resolutions for distribution companies set distribution tariffs for household and non-household customers.

Taking into account public disappointment that new tariffs will increase gas bills for household customers and based on requests from the President of Ukraine and the Government, on 10 April 2017 NEURC will hold a public hearing to review the tariffs. In addition, NEURC plans to organize further consultations with the Government of Ukraine regarding extension of utility subsidies for gas transmission and distribution services.
