Tariffs for electricity until the full launch of the market in July 2019 will be relatively stable, and for household consumers - unchanged. Such a forecast was made by the head of the National Commission that regulates energy and utilities Oksana Krivenko.

"Until July, we have made significant changes, we do not expect a significant increase in the electricity tariff. And for domestic consumers, tariffs will remain unchanged, "she said in an interview with Radio NV,.

Krivenko noted that the existing pricing approaches to pricing, such as Rotterdam +, currently hold back the growth of tariffs for end-users - "limit the desires, especially for the subjects of generating energy, with respect to price increases".

Speaking about the period after July 2019, when competitive pricing should be earned by free pricing, the head of the NKREC admitted the possibility of a price increase.

"Given the fact that we have a very large concentration of large generating companies in the electricity market, growth is indeed possible," she said..

Krivenko added that she is afraid of a possible collusion in the generation segment - that large enterprises that generate a large volume can raise their prices.

"We must monitor and prevent such situations," the head of the NKREC emphasized..
