In Ukraine, in October 2025, the tariffs for natural gas and electricity for the population will remain at the previous level. The cost of one cubic meter of gas will be 7.96 hryvnias, while consumers will pay 4.32 hryvnias for 1 kWh of electricity. The price of electricity will remain unchanged at least until the end of October this year.

Gas Tariffs: Stability for Most Households
Over 98% of Ukrainian household gas consumers, which is more than 12 million households, are clients of the company “Naftogaz of Ukraine” and use the tariff of 7.96 hryvnias per cubic meter. This tariff is fixed until April 30, 2026, inclusive. There is a moratorium on price increases for gas, as well as for heating and hot water, in Ukraine. However, this moratorium does not apply to tariffs for water and electricity, which may change at the government’s discretion. A review of the gas price is possible only after amendments are made to the relevant law by the Verkhovna Rada.
Currently, the company “Naftogaz” has approved the existing tariff until the end of April 2026, but does not rule out its extension even after that date. Meanwhile, the situation in the gas market remains complex, which may affect future decisions regarding tariffs.
Electricity: Fixed Prices and Opportunities for Savings
The electricity tariff for household consumers is set by government resolution No. 632 and amounts to 4.32 hryvnias per 1 kWh. This tariff will be in effect until October 31, 2025. Ukrainians have the opportunity to take advantage of multi-zone meters by contacting their electricity supplier to switch to a new tariff system. For example, with a two-zone meter, consumers will pay 2.16 hryvnias per 1 kWh during nighttime hours (from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM), which is half the standard tariff. During daytime hours (from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM), the tariff will remain unchanged at 4.32 hryvnias per 1 kWh.
“During nighttime hours (from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM), electricity can be paid for with a 50% discount.”
Despite periodic rumors about a possible increase in electricity tariffs, none of these scenarios are currently being seriously considered. After the war in Ukraine ends, there are plans for a gradual phasing out of subsidies for the population through the PSO (Public Service Obligation) mechanism, which currently obliges suppliers to sell electricity at a fixed tariff.
