The current tariff is optimal and will help maintain the dynamics of Ukrainian economic development, says Ukrtsement.
The electricity transmission tariff in Ukraine should be left in 2025 at the current level of 528.57 UAH/MWh. This was stated in the appeal of the Ukrcement association to the National Commission for Regulation of Energy and Utilities (NCRECU), the Ministries of Energy and Economy, Ukrenergo and the relevant committees of the Verkhovna Rada, Uprom report on Thursday, November 28.
The appeal to government officials came shortly after the Ukrainian National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Ukraine) called on NEURC to refuse to increase the electricity transmission tariff to 665.26 UAH/MWh. The National Commission made the corresponding decision on November 13.
The statement from Ukrcement indicated the need to leave the tariff for electricity transmission at the current level – this will help maintain the dynamics of the development of the Ukrainian economy, which is already under the influence of a number of negative factors because of the war.
The association recalled that cement is the main component for construction and restoration, therefore keeping costs at an optimal level is very important, therefore it is advisable to leave the current tariff for electricity transmission.
Earlier, the ICC Ukraine, in an appeal to the NEURC, noted that the tariff increase would require an additional financial burden of more than 13 billion hryvnias, which, along with other unfavorable factors, could have serious consequences for the economy of Ukraine, which is the basis for supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the population and restoration of the state in the future.
We remind you that on November 26, the Cabinet of Ministers changed the conditions for turning off electricity in businesses. Now the schedules do not threaten those who import or independently produce 60% of their electricity. Previously, this number was 80%.
