Naftogaz will raise price of gas in domestic market by 6%
Naftogaz Ukrainy intends in August to increase the price of domestic natural gas purchases from private gas producers in Ukraine by 6% compared to the July offer, to UAH 8,088 from UAH 7,629 per 1,000 cubic meters (excluding VAT), the press service of the company has reported.
The company noted in June it had announced a test purchase of gas at a price of UAH 6,900 per 1,000 cubic meters (excluding VAT).
"Despite the fact that June and July are traditionally a season of low gas demand, Naftogaz has not received a single offer from gas suppliers. Therefore the company increased the bid price for August," the press service said.
A typical contract for the sale and purchase of natural gas and a list of necessary documents are posted on the website of the company.
As reported, Naftogaz will increase the price of gas sold to industrial consumers on a prepayment basis by 1.8% (by UAH 177.6) from August 1, 2018, to UAH 10,130 per 1,000 cubic meters (including VAT). For other buyers, the price next month will rise by 1.7% (by UAH 189.6), to UAH 11,083 for 1,000 cubic meters (including VAT).
