Ukraine Extends Preferential Gas Prices Until End of Heating Season

The Ukrainian government has decided to maintain current preferential gas prices for households and heat producers until March 31, effectively until the end of the heating season. This decision was made by Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi in consideration of the difficult socioeconomic situation in the country.

According to First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal, this means that the government has extended the Public Service Obligation (PSO) in the natural gas market until March 31, 2027. This will allow households to keep their gas prices unchanged throughout the autumn-winter period.

The goal is to fulfill Ukraine's commitments to international partners while introducing a fair and transparent tariff-setting system, which will provide targeted assistance to those who genuinely need it.
