In 2025, the population consumed 7.6 billion cubic meters, or 36% of the total 21 billion cubic meters of natural gas consumed in Ukraine, according to the DIXI Group analytical center, citing data from Energy Map.

“The second-largest segment in terms of volume is industry and other consumers—5.0 billion cubic meters (24%),” the center noted.

In turn, district heating companies that generate heat for households consumed 3.9 billion cubic meters of gas (18%), while district heating companies serving other consumers, particularly government agencies, consumed 2.5 billion cubic meters (12%).

Another approximately 2 billion cubic meters (10%) represent losses—a calculated figure defined as the difference between gross gas consumption and the sum of final consumption across all consumer categories.

According to DIXI Group data, last year gross gas consumption decreased by 4% compared to 2024 and by 31% compared to 2021. At the same time, gas consumption by district heating companies for residential needs increased (+17%), as did consumption by the population itself (+6%). At the same time, gas consumption by district heating companies for other consumers decreased by 16%, and by industry and other consumers—by 12%.

Compared to 2021, gas consumption by industry and other consumers fell by more than half (-54%). Gas consumption by district heating companies for the population also decreased (-24%), as did consumption by the population (-12%). In contrast, gas consumption by district heating companies for other consumers increased by 47%.
