New electricity tariffs from October: who will see lower heating bills.

Changes in electricity tariffs from October 1, 2025

According to inkorr.com: From October 1, 2025, new tariffs for electricity will be introduced in Ukraine for households using electric heating. This initiative aims to reduce costs for electricity during the heating season.

According to media reports, a special tariff 'Electric Heating' will be in effect from October 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026, and will provide a reduced price for electricity for those using electric heating.

Tariff rates for electric heating:

• up to 2000 kWh inclusive - 2.64 UAH per 1 kWh
• over 2000 kWh - 4.32 UAH per 1 kWh

Energy supply companies provide examples of calculations. For example, if in February a consumer uses 1800 kWh, their payment will amount to 4,752 UAH at the tariff of 2.64 UAH/kWh. When consuming 2300 kWh, the bill will be 6,576 UAH.

Main tariff conditions

Tariffs for other categories of consumers remain at the previous level according to government resolution No. 632 - 4.32 UAH per 1 kWh until October 31, 2025.

Using multi-zone accounting

Consumers can reduce their electricity costs through multi-zone meters. By installing a two-zone meter, they can pay less at night, receiving a 50% discount, that is, 2.16 UAH per 1 kWh.

To switch to multi-zone accounting, it is necessary to contact their electricity supplier to install the appropriate meter.

Future changes in tariff policy

There is a likelihood of changes in electricity prices, but currently, no possible scenarios are being discussed in detail. A review of the subsidy system is anticipated after the war ends due to PSO (Public Service Obligation). A government resolution has also come into effect, obligating suppliers to sell electricity at fixed tariffs.

New electricity tariffs, which will take effect on October 1, 2025, aim to reduce costs for households with electric heating. The use of multi-zone meters will allow consumers to save additionally at night. Furthermore, changes in the electricity pricing system may occur in the future, especially after the war ends; however, presently tariffs remain stable with fixed prices.
