The National Commission for Energy, Housing and Utilities Services Regulation (NCER) has introduced the fee for gas distribution from April 2017.

The decision was made by the regulator in Kyiv on Tuesday.

The new system envisages the separation of the transportation and distribution tariffs from the price of gas as a commodity.

According to the commission's decision, each consumer will pay a fixed fee depending on the largest capacity of their meters irrespective of the volume of consumption every month. The price of gas bought by consumers would not include the cost of transportation and distribution.

The fee for households for the transitive period (three years) is set lower than for the rest of categories of consumers. After the transitive period the fee will be equal for each category.
