More than 49,000 families received electricity payment benefits

Based on the presidential decree «On measures to support low-income citizens (families) in the form of reducing electricity bills», from 2022, social support will be provided to low-income families with children under the age of 16 who receive the monthly «uy-bulogo komok» allowance.

According to this decree:

• from 2022, for families consuming up to 700 kWh of electricity per month, the tariff is set at 50 tyyns per 1 kWh;
• from May 2024, the tariff has been updated and is 55.4 tyyns.

The regional offices of the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Migration send updated lists of recipients of the ‘Uy-Bulogo Komok’ allowance to the regional offices of the Ministry of Energy on a monthly basis to ensure that preferential tariffs are provided.

As of 1 September 2025, 49,510 families out of 53,680 families receiving the benefit took advantage of the electricity payment benefits. This represents 92.2% of the total number of recipients.

The main reasons why some families were unable to receive benefits are: living in rented flats without individual electricity accounts; lack of title documents (red book) for housing for citizens living in cottage communities;  temporary residence in industrial premises;  living in conditions where there is no electricity supply (in sheepfolds, in newly built houses without connected power grids, or in the absence of a contract with energy companies). For these reasons, in a number of cases it was not possible to provide benefits.
