In Ukraine, there is currently a single tariff for electricity, but consumers with meters and certain categories of the population may pay less. In the event of accumulating debts, electricity supply may be disconnected. As stated on the Ministry of Energy’s website, such actions can be taken throughout the country, except in areas of potential combat and territories under occupation.

Consumers receive a warning about disconnection 10 days in advance. The legislation does not specify a clear amount of debt after which disconnection of electricity supply may occur. Generally, this could be a debt of several thousand hryvnias or non-payment for several months.
“After receiving the warning, the consumer has several options: fully pay off the debt by the specified date, enter into a restructuring agreement with the supplier, contact the electricity supplier or distribution system operator to verify consumption volumes, or appeal to the court, which will suspend the disconnection until the review is completed.”
If the debt is not settled and no actions are taken, the electricity supply will be limited. Additionally, the consumer will have to pay the costs for reconnection, which can amount to several thousand hryvnias. Reconnection does not happen instantly: in urban areas, this process may take up to 3 days, while in rural areas, it may take up to 5 days.
