The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has extended the provision on imposing special obligations (SO) on electricity market participants until April 30, 2026, Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko announced.
“Electricity prices for the population will remain unchanged this winter. The government has extended the SRO for electricity until April 30, 2026. This means that during the heating season, citizens will continue to pay UAH 4.32 per kWh,” Sviridenko wrote on Telegram following Wednesday’s government meeting.
According to her, preferential prices for consumers with electric heating will also remain in place.
Thus, for consumption of up to 2,000 kWh per month, the price will be 2.64 UAH per kWh, and for consumption above the established limit, the price will be 4.32 UAH per kWh.
“This is part of a comprehensive program to support Ukrainians in winter. We are reducing the financial pressure on families during the heating season,” the prime minister added.
As reported earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers extended the validity of the provision on imposing special obligations (SOP) on natural gas market entities for gas supplies to domestic consumers, gas distribution system operators, “last resort” suppliers, and gas-fired electricity producers from October 31, 2025, to March 31, 2026.
