Tariff Increase: Essence and Reasons
According to updated data, the new tariffs will come into effect after the final approval of the resolution. It is anticipated that the increase in tariffs will occur due to the need to cover costs for the maintenance and modernization of gas storage facilities, as well as to ensure the reliability of gas supply for consumers. The last tariff review took place in 2022, and since then, the economic situation in the energy sector has undergone significant changes.
Next Steps and Consequences for Consumers
The decision to increase tariffs is part of the state policy aimed at stabilizing the operation of the energy system and supporting infrastructure. If the resolution is finally adopted, the updated tariffs will come into effect shortly. It is expected that this will affect the cost of gas storage services for industrial consumers and may have a minor impact on end consumers, depending on the decisions of suppliers.
