Yulia Svyrydenko: More than 280,000 families have already received electricity bill compensation under Winter Support

Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko has announced that, under the Winter Support programme, more than 280,000 families have already received compensation towards their electricity bills.

“This is targeted assistance for residents of frontline regions, so that families can get through the winter period more easily and meet their basic needs. The state compensates 100 kWh of electricity per person per month (with a cap of 300 kWh per family),” the Head of Government emphasised.

The programme began on 1 October. Payments are credited monthly throughout the cold season.

The additional payment is automatically added to the regular monthly housing and utility subsidy or benefit.
