The Government
plans to analyze how payment for gas shall be divided, the procedure that will come
in effect on April 1 pursuant to the law, and to shape a formula for
calculating bills, said Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr
Groysman during the meeting with representatives of
regional media on Friday.
"According
to the adopted law on the natural gas market and to the Code of gas transportation
network, starting April 1, it is necessary to calculate separately the price of
gas and the cost of transmission and delivery. And it has actually led to a
decrease in gas price by UAH 800. In fact, there occurred a split. Now I want
to look at the structure of bills", stressed Volodymyr
Groysman.
He accentuated
that a thousand of cubic meters of gas shall cost now about UAH 6 thousand. In
addition, the gas payment scheme won’t in any way affect the households that
obtain housing and utilities subsidies.
"Those
7.5 million households receiving subsidies won’t feel the change", said
the Head of Government.
