Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Ostap Semerak said that "the Government in recent months took a number of important decisions that would enable Ukrainians to meet this winter."

On Tuesday, September 23, speaking at the program Shuster Live”, Ostap Semerak reported that the Government studied the practice of implementation of municipal transition programs to alternative energy sources. This experience has been generalized and extended to the entire country.

"The Government has allocated UAH 500 million on it from the budget, including UAH 50 million for credit compensation, and thus multiplied additionally up to UAH 200 million funds aimed at replacing gas boilers", Ostap Semerak noted.

Furthermore, the Government proposed an interesting tariff policy for those customers who are ready to switch from gas to electricity or alternative energy sources.
