Ukraine keeps its standard electricity tariff through April 2027
Ukraine’s government says the household rate remains UAH 4.32 per kilowatt-hour through April 30, 2027; the preferential heating rate requires qualifying conditions.
Ukraine’s government extended the household electricity tariff arrangement through April 30, 2027.
The standard price stays at UAH 4.32 per kilowatt-hour. The energy ministry also names a UAH 2.64 preferential rate for specified electric-heating and other qualifying households; buying an electric heater does not by itself establish eligibility. [1][2]
An unchanged unit price makes one part of winter budgeting more predictable. It does not freeze a household’s total bill: at the standard rate, 100 kilowatt-hours costs UAH 432 and 200 costs UAH 864 before any other applicable adjustments. These are arithmetic examples, rather than estimates of typical consumption or a complete tariff calculation. [1]
The practical step is to separate the rate on an account from the electricity that account consumes. Households considering electric heating should confirm their registered category and any consumption conditions with their supplier before assuming the lower rate. The announcement establishes the government’s stated policy, while local reporting corroborates the announcement; neither is an independent audit of its application to an individual bill. [1][3]

At one tariff, a longer energy-charge bar reflects greater consumption.
