As a result, the monthly fee for gas delivery may either increase or decrease depending on individual consumption levels.
It is important to note that all Ukrainians connected to the gas network are required to pay for gas delivery on a monthly basis, even if they do not consume any gas.
The amount of the payment is determined by multiplying the average monthly consumption by the rate set by the gas distribution network operator.
The delivery rate is influenced by several factors, including the length of the network, the number of consumers, the condition of equipment and infrastructure, as well as the average wage level.
The volume of gas consumed is assessed over a "gas year," which runs from October to September. For example, the gas supply payment this year will reflect consumption from October 2023 to September 2024, whereas last year's payment was based on usage from October 2022 to September 2023.
