1. Renewable energy
production at the
new electricity
market of Ukraine
Ukraine Project Office of Energy
Community Secretariat
Stanislav Masevych

2. Legal basis for RES at the new
electricity market of Ukraine
 Law of Ukraine “On electricity
market”(art. 33, 62, 70, 71 and etc.);
 Law of Ukraine “On alternative
energy sources”
 Market Rules, Day-ahead Market
Rules, Intraday Market Rules;
 Rules for purchasing of electricity
by the Guaranteed Buyer from
producers under “green” tariff;
 Other secondary legislation

3. RES participants at the new
electricity market
 RES plants outside the “green”
tariff:
a. RES plants operating outside
green tariffs (big hydro power
plants and etc.);
b. Aggregator of RES plants
operating outside green tariffs;
 RES pants under the “green” tariff

4. Concept of Guaranteed Buyer for
RES plants under the “green” tariff
 GB has to buy all electricity from producers
under “green tariff” under PSO mechanism
(in the Law) based on the bilateral contract
between the producer, for which the "green"
tariff was set and the Guaranteed Buyer;
 GB pays for purchased “green” electricity
according to commercial metering data
received from Commercial Metering
Administrator (TSO);
 GB sell the purchased “green” electricity to
the market (bilateral contracts, DAM, IDM)

5. Relations between Guaranteed
Buyer and RES plants
 RES plants submit on the daily basis their
schedules of electricity delivery (forecasts) to
GB;
 The GB should submit a cumulative forecast for
the total of the RES energy under green
tariffs(Balancing Group) and pay imbalances
based on the total metered quantities of the RES
plants it represents;
 The deviation of actual volumes of supply of
electricity of ‘green tariff’ producers from their
daily schedules of electricity delivery for the next
day/intraday shall be considered as imbalances
of the "green" tariff producer
 Based on these differences, the GB will calculate the
coefficients (on an hourly basis) which should be
applied to allocate the net cost/profit of the GB’s
IDM activation and imbalances settlement

6. Compensation to Guaranteed
Buyer for buying electricity under
“green tariff” (since 01.01.2019)
 Cabinet of Ministers put public service
obligation to TSO on making
compensation payment for GB based
on the Electricity Market Law;
 TSO involves in its transmission tariff a
special component for obligatory
purchase of “green electricity”
 The GB submit application with all
reasonable costs (differences on
purchased “green” electricity and then
sold at DAM/IDM, commercial costs,
imbalances) to TSO on compensation
payment that shall involve all costs of
GB

7. Support instruments for RES plants
in EU states

8. Market-oriented RES support
instruments for Ukraine after start of
new electricity market operation
For RES plants participating directly at
the market outside GB
 Feed-In Premium – market price +
premium up to the guaranteed price
cap
 Contract for difference – to make a
clear guaranteed contract price for
producers and suppliers with
compensation for deviation by the third
party (usually, the state company)
 Tender or auctions – to allocate
different renewables technologies on
competitive bidding procedure

9. Balance Responsibility of RES plants in
EU states

10. Balance Responsibility of solar and
wind plants at new electricity market of
Ukraine
Until 31 December, 2019 – 0%
Since 1 January, 2020 – 10%
Since 1 January, 2021 – 20%
Since 1 January, 2022 – 40%
Since 1 January, 2023 – 60%
Since 1 January, 2024 – 80%
Since 1 January, 2025 – 100% - Full Balance
Responsibility
The allowed rate of deviation from schedules:
wind production up to 10%;
solar production up to 5%;
