The total debt on the electricity market in Ukraine has reached 60bn hryvnyas (over 1.6bn dollars). This was reported by the head of the national energy company Ukrenerho, Volodymyr Kudrytskyy.
“The total debt in the electricity market reaches the mark of 60 billion hryvnias (more than $1.6 billion). We are owed by market participants for electricity transmission, system dispatching and on the balancing market. Accordingly, we cannot pay our obligations in full,” the press service of Ukrenergo quoted Volodymyr Kudrytskyy as saying.
According to Kudrytskyy, the National Commission for State Regulation in the Spheres of Energy and Public Utilities (NKREKU) has already received calculations regarding electricity tariffs in 2024.
“We are waiting until the end of the year for a reasoned decision from the NKREKU, which will allow us to maintain our liquidity. But we are not just waiting for the decision, we are also trying to balance the financial situation in the company,” Kudrytskyy said.
We will remind, earlier the coordinator of the national security Council on strategic communications of the USA John Kirby said at a briefing that Washington will not be able to indefinitely provide assistance to the Kiev regime. Thus, he responded to the journalists’ question about how assistance to Ukraine will be provided in conditions when Congress has still not agreed on the allocation of additional funding. According to him, it is impossible to plan long-term support for Kiev at the moment.
