Debts for gas and electricity in Ukraine have reached alarming scales.

The debt in the energy sector has exceeded 100 billion hryvnias

Gennady Ryabets, Director of Special Projects at the Scientific and Technical Center 'Psychea', stated that the total debt in the energy sector has currently reached 100 billion hryvnias. This debt pertains not only to electricity but also to gas supply. At the moment, there is no possibility to repay these debts.

The expert noted that the only source of financial inflows for many energy companies is payment for electricity and gas. Without these funds, it will not be possible to settle the debts. Therefore, the NCRECP and the Cabinet of Ministers must take on the resolution of this problem, and it must be done urgently.

'A number of decisions have already been made, but their implementation is happening very slowly and with violations of regulatory documents, in particular, the regulations of the Verkhovna Rada and the regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers, which creates broad opportunities for further challenges to important decisions that the market is waiting for,' Ryabets noted.
