Ukrainians sharply increased electricity tariffs: how to pay half as much

Ukrainians, even after almost doubling the electricity tariff (from UAH 1.44 to 2.64 per kWh), can reduce the amount in payments. There are two options for this: affect the tariff, affect the volume of current consumption.

To influence the tariff, you need to buy and install a two-zone meter (the price is about UAH 2-3 thousand) and connect it. To do this, contact the power supplier. More often, large companies offer their services: energy-efficient kits are already ready.

A two-zone meter allows you to pay for electricity at the rate of UAH 1.32 per kWh from 23 pm to 7 am. And during the day at the usual rate. It is important to use energy-consuming devices at night.

How to reduce bills

The State Agency for Energy Efficiency has published advice to Ukrainians. If you follow these tips, the amount in payments can be reduced several times.

Turn off lights and use energy efficient bulbs. This is the easiest way to save money. In the corridor, you can install a motion sensor (the light will turn on only during movement). And all the light bulbs need to be lured to LED.

Buy appliances with energy efficiency class “A” and “A +”. They can draw up to 30-50% less current. It is also important to turn off unused appliances. In standby mode, they use current.

The refrigerator must be clean, located in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight. Turn on only those devices that you use.

Earlier, GLOBAL HAPPENINGS wrote that the ex-Minister of Energy believes that the electricity tariff should be doubled. The current increase is not enough.
