Currently, household electricity tariff for the population is estimated at 2.64 hryvnias ($0.067) per kilowatt-hour ($0.07), the news outlet added.
The government is preparing to increase household electricity tariffs by 50%, Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Kucherenko said earlier in May, adding that the increase might be put into force from June 1. The National Bank of Ukraine said the rise in tariffs was necessitated by a complicated situation in the energy sphere.
