The government is planning to increase electricity prices in the spring, with the most extreme scenario involving a four-fold increase in the tariff. Other options are being considered that would involve a smaller increase, but still one that would be noticeable to the population. The government has stated that those with low incomes will be given subsidies to help offset the cost of the increase. Currently, households that consume less than 250 kilowatt-hours are charged UAH 1.44 per kilowatt-hour, and those that consume more are charged UAH 1.68.
