World Bank released a new study on “Modernization of the District Heating Systems in Ukraine: Heat Metering and Consumption-Based Billing”

world-bank-logo 7It is widely recognized that current tariffs for district heating are significantly below costs and the implied subsidy is not sustainable. By drawing on examples of successful district heating reforms in other countries in the region, the study shows that Ukraine’s district heating sector requires tariff increases and investments in energy efficiency to ensure financial sustainability and improved quality of service. District heating tariffs should cover the full cost of gas as well as the cost of necessary investments to modernize the system. In order to ensure the affordability of district heating services, the study recommends implementing consumption based billing and reducing heat consumption by about 50 percent through investments in energy efficiency to compensate for the required price increases. In addition, targeted social assistance is necessary to help low income households to cope with the needed tariff increases for energy services.

Experts: Liberalization of the energy market and active participation of the civil society in the market reform – are awaiting Ukraine in future

press releasePress-release: March 30, 2012

The Energy Community Treaty (ECT), which Ukraine joined in February 2011, creates concrete legal framework, within which Ukraine and the other Contracting Parties implement relevant EU legislation, as to provide in harmonized manner conditions for more investments, for increased energy security and for improving the environment on the ground of competitiveness as a key economic factor.  “Achieving the objectives of the Treaty presupposes active role not only of the state institutions, which have the major responsibility for the reforms – in particular the Government and the Energy Regulatory Authority; this also demands clear understanding and respective involvement of all other key stakeholders e.g. the business community, the social partners, the non-governmental organizations, the media etc. Transparency in this aspect is crucial as at the end of the day the reforms in the energy sector influence on long lasting basis the everyday life of all citizens. And I am very glad to note that our communication with the Ukrainian government, represented by H.E. Minister Boyko, as well as with the other stakeholders, is in clear favour of such an approach”, says Slavtcho Neykov, Director of the Energy Community Secretariat.
