The government's appeal to the NEURC
The government has appealed to the National Commission for State Regulation in the Spheres of Energy and Public Utilities (NEURC) with a request to postpone the planned increase in water tariffs for the population. Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko reported this during a press conference, noting the need to find a solution that can balance the interests of consumers and the needs of water utilities.
“In the conditions of war, people should not feel additional financial pressure” - Yulia Svyrydenko.
Social stability in difficult conditions
This step by the government signifies an attempt to maintain social stability in challenging conditions caused by the war. Postponing the increase in water tariffs can help reduce the financial burden on the population, which is already facing numerous challenges.
At the same time, it is important to find a compromise that ensures the stability of water utilities and their ability to perform their functions under critical conditions.
