The national Commission carrying out regulation in the energy and utilities (NKREKU) are unable to adopt the draft new methodology of tariff calculation for services of the gas companies.
The Commission was unable to adopt the draft as the meeting of the regulator was closed, its head Dmitry Vovk because of the activity of representatives of the Federation of trade unions of Ukraine, which prevented the holding of the meeting.
Before the closure, introducing the draft decision, the chief of Department of regulation of relations in the oil and gas sector Tatiana Ryabukha said that under the proposed changes, the monthly fee is to be calculated on the basis of the maximum connected capacity, i.e. the maximum gas consumption by all user devices, as previously proposed, based on the ordered power to be determined by the Commission.
