Kyiv, 4 July 2014 <\/i><\/b>\u2013 Gas supply from Russia to Ukraine is currently shut off, the only supply source for now is from the European direction, it puts new demands on the country. First of all we\u2019re talking about establishing civilized market rules as well as saving energy. Andriy Kobolev, \u201cNaftogaz of Ukraine\u201d JSC Head of board, said at a briefing in the Ukraine Crisis Media Center. \u201cWe now have to decrease our gas consumption by 6 billion cubic meters that compared to the last heating season constitutes 20% of the general consumption. Within four months we actually have to do what has not been done for 10 years until now. Energy saving and at the same time managing energy supply services are in the agenda, this incudes energy efficiency, heat trace and generation issues \u2013 setting up alternative sources and increase of own production,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Kobolyev Ukraine has actually got huge potential for resource saving. In order to have this potential applied it is important to introduce economic incentives, state will and that of the people is important. \u201cSaving potential in municipal sphere in particular is not less than 4 billion cubic meters a year. Surely it is impossible to achieve it in one year but our first steps could bring us closer to our target figures,\u201d Andriy Kobolyev is convinced.<\/p>\n

Actual economic analysis in private sector shows that gas consumption is more cost efficient than coal, that\u2019s why it\u2019s impossible to expect considerable changes with no actual economic incentives. The mechanism in place de-facto foresees subsidizing the difference between the consumer price and the gas import price. Establishing common wholesale gas price for all market players can become a powerful instrument. \u201cIt would be right to stick to the average import price of USD 360-370 per thousand cubic meters. Local gas cannot be several times cheaper because such a scenario stimulates the import of energy resources. Current price doesn\u2019t allow not only to increase extraction, but even to cover expense for renovation of operational wells. There is no alternative way out,\u201d said \u201cNaftogaz of Ukraine\u201d JSC Head of board. Subsidies and discounts have been introduced to protect certain social groups from considerable price increase. At the same time companies generating energy will lose their motivation to manipulate the volumes of gas between energy and heat.<\/p>\n

If talking the language of figures an average household using a gas stove will be paying not UAH 31, but UAH 150 a month. \u201cOf course it\u2019s considerable increase, but we have to start the changes from ourselves and understand that gas expenses are everyone\u2019s needs and are not less important than expenses, say, on mobile connection, for which average Ukrainian\u2019s monthly bill is higher,\u201d said Mr. Kobolev.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to take into consideration one more element of social injustice \u2013 households buying gas in cylinders pay UAH 270 already today. Those unpopular and unpleasant changes are irreversible for us and key in gaining Ukraine\u2019s energy independence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
