Gas consumption in Ukraine has increased by 20%: what to expect for the heating season.

According to inkorr.com: Nataliya Boyko, Deputy Head of the Supervisory Board of Naftogaz, noted that the consumption of natural gas in Ukraine is rapidly increasing, and this has become an increasingly noticeable trend. In particular, in the household sector, gas usage has risen by 20% just since the beginning of this week.

'If we compare the gas consumption figures on Monday, October 13, and today – the increase is about 20%. Ukrainians are actively heating with gas, although everyone understands how difficult the situation is this season.'

Nataliya Boyko also warned that the heating season of 2025–2026 will be extremely challenging. She urged citizens to review their energy usage habits and try to save. She emphasized that gas consumption exceeds last year’s figures for the same period and recommended that Ukrainians dress warmly at home and conserve energy as much as possible.

Threat to the gas transportation system due to increasing consumption

Experts believe that the rising gas consumption may create additional pressure on Ukraine's gas transportation system by the middle of winter. Naftogaz calls on Ukrainians to use energy resources rationally to avoid fuel shortages during the coldest months of the year.

In Ukraine, there is a sharp increase in the consumption of natural gas, especially in the household sector. Naftogaz warns of the potential consequences of this trend, including threats to the country's gas transportation system. Citizens are asked to use energy efficiently and save resources to avoid problems during the heating season.
