In the first quarter of 2025, JSC NAEK Energoatom paid UAH 12.6 billion to the Ukrainian budget in the form of taxes, mandatory payments, and a single contribution to compulsory state social insurance.
“This is UAH 5.7 billion more than in the same period of 2024,” the company said on its Telegram channel.

Members of the TSC believe that the level of electricity prices for the population set by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine as of May 2024 fully corresponds to the economically justified level.
On May 14, the Verkhovna Rada took note of the TSC’s report on the investigation of possible violations of Ukrainian law in the formation and implementation of pricing and tariff policy in the energy and utilities sectors during its six months of activity.
By a corresponding resolution, the Rada extended the work of this Temporary Commission for a period determined by parliament (one year from the date of its establishment) and decided to hear its report on the work done at a plenary session by October 30, 2025. The Temporary Commission was established by a resolution of the Verkhovna Rada on October 30, 2024.
In 2024, Energoatom paid UAH 145.35 billion for PSO services (provisions on the imposition of special obligations – IF-U), allocating 58% of its net income to this purpose.
As part of anti-dumping investigations, duties are more effective for economic development, according to Pavlo Kachur, head of Ukrcement.
“There are two mechanisms for protecting the market: anti-dumping duties and price proposals. The difference between them is that the additional delta that equalizes prices in one case goes to the domestic budget, and in the other case goes to the foreign producer. In today’s situation, when every hryvnia of revenue to the state budget is very important, when this hryvnia is used for defense, when domestic consumption in Ukraine has fallen significantly, the mechanism of anti-dumping duties is much more patriotic, because it additionally fills the state budget,” he told Interfax-Ukraine on the sidelines of the conference ‘Trade Wars: The Art of Defense’ in Kyiv on Tuesday.
Kachur stressed that protecting the interests of Ukrainian producers in wartime is not only the right but also the duty of the state.
As reported, the Interdepartmental Commission on International Trade (ICIT) is reviewing anti-dumping measures on imports of cement from Russia, Belarus, and Moldova to Ukraine in connection with the expiration of their validity. Earlier, in 2019, the ICIT imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of cement clinker and Portland cement under codes 2523 10 and 2523 29 to Ukraine at the following rates: 57.03% on cement from Belarus; 94.46% on cement from Moldova; 114.95% on cement from Russia. The duties were imposed for a period of five years and extended for one year in 2024.
