According to government officials, the new auction rules designed to support renewable energy will take effect this fall. One of the key changes is the simplification of conditions for investors. From now on, they can provide financial security directly to the Guaranteed Buyer instead of a bank guarantee. This makes the process more flexible and accessible for businesses.
The amount of the bank guarantee has also been reduced, allowing more investment to be directed toward the construction of new energy facilities. In addition, the timeframe for confirming grid connection has been extended.
“We are creating favorable conditions for investment in Ukraine’s renewable energy sector. This will increase domestic electricity production and strengthen the country’s energy security, especially in the context of ongoing attacks by Russia,” Shmyhal noted.
