The readiness of infrastructure objects for the heating season in the whole country makes up over 90%, and in some cities, the readiness is almost 100%. This was stated by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during his introductory speech at the Government sitting on September 29.

"18.8 billion cubic meters of gas have been accumulated in underground storage facilities, which is more than in 2017 and 2018. There is a sufficient amount of funds for the further purchase of natural gas. Tariffs will remain stable, and the subsidy program will be increased," Denys Shmyhal stressed.

The Head of Government reminded that from October 1, the electricity tariff will also be reduced to UAH 1.44 per kWh for 80% of Ukrainian families.

During the meeting, the Prime Minister commissioned the Minister of Energy Herman Galushchenko to pay attention to the proper implementation of tasks on preparation for the smooth passage of the autumn-winter period and to brief the society daily on the state of preparation and other issues.
