From April 1, 2017, natural gas prices for the Ukrainian population may increase by 40%. This information was reported to the publication "New time" Commercial Director of the Naftogaz Group Yuriy Vitrenko reported (Read more about it in the article Yuriy Vitrenko, oil and gas business mogul).
Vitrenko noted that if state regulation of gas prices is not extended, then based on the current situation—European gas prices, the hryvnia exchange rate, and other factors—it can be concluded that prices for households will increase by 40%. However, if state regulation is extended, which the IMF still needs to agree to, the price increase could possibly be postponed until October 2017.
Vitrenko stated that the price of gas for households could only be reduced under one condition: if the Stockholm Arbitration Court upholds the claims against Russia's Gazprom. According to the claims, the Russian holding company must begin importing gas at the so-called "hub minus" price (the European price minus the cost of transportation from the Russian border to Germany).
As a reminder, as of May 1, 2016, the single price for the population of Ukraine is 6,9 UAH per cubic meter of natural gas.
