Dear Colleagues,
?We would like to let you know that on 11 February 2022 the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission (NEURC) approved and published for public discussion the draft resolution on increase of the transmission tariff for NPC Ukrenergo since 1 April 2022. The suggested amount of increase is up to 20,8 %, fixing the transmission tariff in the amount of 417.17 UAH/MWh (12,93 EUR/MWh). At the same time at the beginning of February 2022 NPC Ukrenergo published the draft resolution on increase of the transmission tariff for NPC Ukrenergo since 1 April 2022 fixing the transmission tariff in the amount of 446.24 UAH/MWh (13.83 EUR/MWh).
?NEURC took into account the lack of UAH 10.528 billion (EUR 326,374,496) in the state budget for 2022 to pay for "green" electricity from renewable sources in the amount of 20% of the forecast marketable output for the year. The state budget for 2022, adopted on 2 December 2021, suspended the 20% provision for 2022 and this created a significant risk of accumulating new debts for "green" electricity from renewable sources.
?Earlier in December 2021 the NEURC approved the increase of the transmission tariff for NPC Ukrenergo since 1 January 2022 for 17.6% comparing with the transmission tariff for 2021.
This increase will help to pay off all the debts to the producers of "green" electricity from renewable sources.
?Should you have any questions, please let us know.
?Kind regards,
Yaroslav
