As part of the Resilience Plans, Government to hold a tender for the construction of over 1.3 GW of new generating capacity

The Government has approved a decision to hold a tender for the construction of over 1.3 GW of new generating capacity as part of the Resilience Plans and has established the terms and conditions for the tender. This was announced by Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.

“The goal is to enhance the resilience of the power grid and cover the capacity deficit following russian attacks on energy infrastructure. New capacity is to be built in regions where the need is greatest,” the Head of Government emphasized.

Specifically, this applies to the following regions:

- Kyiv and Cherkasy regions — 250 MW

- Sumy, Kharkiv, and Poltava regions — 872 MW

- Dnipropetrovsk region — 100 MW

- Odesa region — 100 MW.

According to Yulia Svyrydenko, competitive proposals may be submitted within three months of the Ministry of Energy’s announcement of the tender. 

An incentive mechanism is provided for participants: the fee for the service to support the development of generating capacity will be up to 27.92 euro cents per 1 kWh for 5 years after the facility is commissioned.

The maximum timeframe for commissioning new capacity is up to 20 months. Requirements for the engineering protection of energy facilities have also been established.

“We are continuing to systematically expand distributed and reserve generation as part of our preparations for the coming heating season and new energy challenges,” the Prime Minister emphasized.
