KYIV, May 17 – Power prices for businesses may increase at least 25% if Energoatom, in the absence of auctions for signing bilateral agreements, sells all its volumes in the "day ahead" market and sets the maximum possible price, Head of Ukrenergo Vsevolod Kovalchuk said.

According to him, the measures that the regulator is expected to introduce, setting ceiling prices in all market segments, do not guarantee sufficient restraint on the growth of retail prices for commercial consumers.
