Ukraine is entering the autumn-winter season with a sufficient amount of gas in underground storage facilities, while maintaining a stable pricing policy, said Oleksiy Chernyshov, CEO of Naftogaz of Ukraine, during the United News telethon.
“Gas prices for households and district heating companies remain stable. They will not change until the end of winter. Therefore, I have to reassure the population in this regard, as well as cities and district heating companies,” he emphasized.
The Head of Naftogaz Group also noted that the preparations for the heating season were at the proper level.
“We have to move forward, get through this winter and be absolutely confident of victory and further actions,” Chernyshov said.
Earlier on Tuesday, Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko said that electricity prices for household consumers would remain stable until the end of this heating season.
“As for resources, we will be provided with everything we need, both coal and gas. Due to high temperatures in the last two months of summer, coal stocks in warehouses have fallen slightly, but we have already signed relevant contracts, including imports, and we will be fully provided with coal in the required volume,” the minister said.
According to him, almost 15 billion cubic meters of gas have been accumulated in storage facilities so far, which is even more than planned for the beginning of the heating season.
