The current price of gas on the free installation of gas meters for residents of Kharkiv region provided 1.6 kopecks (without VAT). The money of PJSC “kharkivgaz” should be set to 6.4 thousand individual meters a year. Given the amount of funding, by January 1, 2021 without gas meters in the field may remain about 20 thousand households.
About it reported in a press-service of “Kharkovgas”.
At the end of last year in Kharkiv region there were about 40 thousands of consumers without gas accounting (including consumer, temporarily not using gas). According to the current distribution tariff, PJSC “kharkivgaz” up to 2021 will be able to install only 19.2 thousand meters.
“PJSC “kharkivgaz” fully supports the provision of 100% of gas. Only if the counter customers can save energy and the money to pay for gas. Therefore, I hope that the current price of gas will be allocated the necessary funding for the installation of meters and a free replacement consumers”, — said the commercial Director of PJSC “kharkivgaz” Irina Listova.
The programme of installing meters for consumers who only use gas stove, began in 2016. In the absence of funds in the tariff of distribution companies (oblgases) to install individual meters to this category of consumers, the national Commission has approved the investment program of construction of houses house counters. The house account was not supported by all users of fuel.
In December 2016 the national Commission laid down in the distribution tariff gas PJSC “kharkivgaz” installation 6.4 thousands of individual meters a year. In monetary terms, the gas company allocated 1.6 cents per one cubic meter of the delivered fuel. Then the rate of PJSC “kharkivgaz” and the cost of the meters for residents of the area have not been revised. Significantly increased only the price of gas that Naftogaz receives. However, Naftogaz, according to the Law “On ensuring the commercial accounting of natural gas” shall be responsible for installation of meters to consumers.
And if the initial installation of counters in the tariff of PJSC “kharkivgaz” laid 1.6 pennies per cubic meter of gas delivered, the cost of replacement of meters and the exchange Fund is not provided for in the tariff.
