The Association of Ukrainian Ferroalloy Producers has asked the Cabinet of Ministers, the President Administration and the National power and housing utilities state regulation committee to return electricity prices to December 2015 (1.23-1.52 UAH per kW-h) and prohibit their increase in 2016-2021.
“For the past several months the electricity tariffs for industrial manufacturers have been increased a number of times. In particular, they grew by 5.6% from December 2015 till May 2016, and by 10% from July 1”, the association said in its letter.
This endangers the existence of several industries, which have by now provided currency and taxes to state and local budgets. (Ukrainian metal)
