In November, tariffs for gas, heat, hot water, and electricity will not increase and they will not see any increase until the end of the heating season as well. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal emphasized in his introductory speech at the Government session on November 10.

"Sustainable tariffs are a commitment of the Government and local authorities to the people, and we comply with them," said the Prime Minister.

According to the Head of Government, today 97% of residential buildings are provided with heating. Kindergartens and medical institutions are 96% connected. 95% are connected to the heat of the school. More than 99% of the housing stock is connected to heat supply in 22 regions.

"There are two areas where the percentage of connected objects is significantly lower. These are Odesa and Kherson regions. It was warm in these regions for a long time, so local leaders did not turn on the batteries. Now their objective is to launch the whole process by the end of the week," Denys Shmyhal emphasized.
