The basic heating price will go up by 8.2% to 4.63 cents (5.6 cents including vat of 21%) per kilowatt-hour. However, it is not the final price for consumers – it will change, depending on fuel prices.
After Vilniaus Silumos Tinklai (Vilnius Heating Grid, VST) took over the city's heating sector on April 1, the discount of about 20% offered to Vilniaus Energija (Vilnius Energy) should theoretically no longer exist. However, the commission's representative Loreta Kimutyte told that Vilnius residents would pay the current price until June, unless the municipality takes a different decision shortly.
