Podcast: Legal Aspects of Microgrid Operation in Ukraine

 Is a Microgrid Complex? Not Exactly. Legally—Simple, Technically—Interesting!

In the Unisolar podcast, Altelaw Partner Olga Savchenko debunks the myth that creating a microgrid in Ukraine is a process filled with legal barriers.

“From a legal perspective, there is no special framework for microgrids. This is done through an active consumer model if you want to interact with the grid. Through direct lines if you want to interact with neighbors. And through financial instruments if you plan to work with other counterparties. The biggest issue is the technical aspect,” emphasizes Olga.

We discussed the practical concerns that businesses have today:
🔹 How to sell surplus electricity — without getting bogged down in paperwork?
🔹Is it possible to agree on a supply with a neighbor at a lower cost than the grid?
🔹What are the real legal mechanisms for microgrids in the industrial sector?
🔹Why is the technical model 80% of the success, while the laws only assist?

If you manage an enterprise, are planning your own generation, or already have a solar power station, this podcast could change your understanding of energy independence.
