However, even if we admit such a comparison, it does not include state subsidies to the coal industry, which total $13 billion within the last 12 years. The correct comparison would be Columbia, Poland or Russia, where the coal price is substantially lower. If Big-Macs in Ukrainian McDonalds are cheaper than in Swiss McDonalds - are they ‘underfinanced’ and should get state subsidies? Dmytro measures ‘underfinanced’ status by referring to Rotterdam, which has no coal mines. So should the price of sugar, coffee and cocoa be the same in Ukraine and in Cuba? Or should the price of oil or wheat grain be the same in Ukraine and UAE?

"The coal industry was insufficiently financed because the price of coal in Ukraine was substantially lower compared to that it in Rotterdam" Below I will analyze certain statements by Dmytro, which I consider erroneous or consciously manipulative.ġ. The Head of NCSREPU Dmytro Vovk presented explanation of the new formula. Why do we use Rotterdam? How is the new formula related to the Ukrainian market? Representatives of the NCSREPU tried explaining this last week at the session of the Rada Energy Committee. The proposed changes caused an animated discussion among experts. The new formula means that all customers now have to pay an increased electrical energy tariff because of the higher "Rotterdam" price of the coal.

It dedicates particular attention to the price of coal.Īccording to the new methodology, the price of the coal used to produce heat and electricity is calculated in this way: "coal price in the port of Rotterdam plus the price of delivery to Ukraine." It is the price which heat and electricity generating power stations based on coal use when selling their electric energy to the market. In March 2016 the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities (NCSREPU) approved a new methodology for calculating the wholesale market price for the electric energy. Let us remind what this formula is, how did it appear and how does it affect the life of an ordinary Ukrainian. Sokolovskyi.Last week the Rada Committee on Fuel and Energy organized hearings on the newly introduced formula for calculating the coal price, which is nicknamed ‘Rotterdam + delivery’. And Russia will keep a strict policy for which it deserves the highest praises – it is able to defend its own interests” – pointed out B. We have no other way of transporting it, but through Russia. That is why all statements about Turkmen gas are just statements. Negotiations should take place only when the mentioned above projects are at the stage of implementation.

These arguments in future negotiations can play in favor of Ukraine. The right way out is the way of diversification – LNG-Terminal, shale gas and reducing fuel consumption.

Is there any logic in the fact that Russia gave away to Turkmenistan such a profitable Ukrainian market? Bright statements are made by our state’s leaders only because they do not know how to get out of the gas situation.

Everything will be done to make sure that Ukraine could not refuse Russian gas. All this can lead to the fact that Ukraine will not benefit from buying at first glance cheap Turkmen gas.

“The recent decision of “Gazprom” on transition of the GTS on the principle of “transit or pay” testifies that Russia wants to limit a free access to the pipe. Unfortunately, at that time the Government was not able to resolve this issue”, – says Sokolovskyi.Īs for the access to the Russia’s GTS within a free trade area of the CIS, which could alleviate the situation with the delivery of Turkmen gas, in the opinion of the expert, “to demand it is one thing, but to achieve it is another thing.” Moreover, we have had the free trade area with Russia for almost 20 years now, but to no result.

“Back in 2009, the President of Turkmenistan said they were ready to sell gas to Ukraine, but the problem of its transportation Ukraine should solve itself with Russia. There nothing strange about it, and why – an energy expert of “Borysfen Intel” Independent Center for Geopolitical Studies B. Sokolovskyi explains to the UNIAN correspondent.Īn energy expert Bohdan Sokolovskyi believes that to get Turkmen gas to Ukraine is possible, but the state’s statements about the issue being actually resolved, will be appropriate, only when the agreements with Russians are achieved. Cheap Turkmen gas can be … inefficient for Ukraine.
