Since September, Ukrainians will start receiving new payments for electricity. This is determined by the resolution of the National Commission for State Regulation in the Fields of Energy and Utilities "

The NEURC resolution was adopted in August 2022, but consumers will notice part of the changes from September. The Decree provides for a number of steps towards the consumer in the aspect of consumer protection.

Thus, consumers will receive new payments for electricity, which will indicate the initial and final readings of electrical energy metering devices, on the basis of which charges are made.. This is done to provide household consumers with understandable and correct information about charges for consumed electricity..

At the request of the consumer, it is possible to use electrical energy without installing a meter, which may also affect payments from September of this year. To do this, you must conclude an appropriate agreement with the electricity supplier.. This option is provided:.

to perform temporary work for up to 30 days, if the consumer does not have the technical ability to install a meter due to the lack of a room adapted for this, the total permitted power at the point of connection is not more than 5 kW for domestic consumers and not more than 50 kW for non-residential consumers. The term of the concluded contracts can be extended one-time for the same period.;

for a period of up to 1 year, if the installation of the meter is impractical due to the use of electrical energy for an electrical installation with a capacity of up to 0.1 kW. The term of the concluded contracts can be extended for the same period.

In addition, in case of problems with the electricity supplier, the decree introduces a simplified procedure for changing it.. This will allow the consumer to make such a transition in 3 days (previously, the transition time to a new electricity supplier was 21 days).
