Former deputy general manager of Ukrenergo, Mikhail Bno-Ayriyan, told the public that due to the current tariff, electricity suppliers did not pay Ukrenergo and large debts were created in the market.
The current electricity tariff does not even cover the cost of delivery and huge debts are created in the energy services market. This was expressed by Mikhail Bno-Ayriyan, former deputy director general of Ukrenergo, during a discussion of experts in the field of energy Energy Freedom by the Energy Club.
According to him, universal service providers supplying electricity to the public do not pay Ukrenergo because of the current tariff. Therefore, there is huge debt in the market.
“Today’s price doesn’t even cover the transmission and distribution of electricity. It can’t be. We need to have a clear source of where we’re going to get this money from, and not constantly create debt along the entire chain of generation and consumption of electricity,” said Bno-Ayrian.
He added that in order to continue to maintain the tariff for the population, a clear source of funding must be provided for this and electricity prices must be market-based as much as possible.
“Therefore, we need a solution and we have to talk honestly about it. We have to think and look for the best ways to protect those segments of the population that need to be protected as much as possible,” he said.
Recall that, according to Ukrenergo, the Russian Armed Forces fired more than a thousand missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, 250 of which hit the target, at the Ukrainian energy facilities. About $1 billion is needed to repair the company’s equipment.
Recall that electricity tariffs in Ukraine need to be reviewed twice, in June and in July-December.
