Verkhovna Rada adopted a law that significantly reshapes the operational rules of Ukraine’s renewable energy sector

Today, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law that significantly reshapes the operational rules of Ukraine’s renewable energy sector.

The Law regarding the improvement of competitive conditions for electricity production from alternative sources introduces comprehensive changes to the sector’s regulatory model:

• Expands the application of the market premium mechanism (Feed-in Premium);
• Updates the procedure for conducting support auctions;
• Extends the horizon of state support until 2034;
• Establishes new requirements for RES projects integrated with Energy Storage Systems (ESS);
• Modernizes the system of Guarantees of Origin (GoO).

These amendments will directly impact project investment structures, financing conditions, auction mechanics, the commercial strategies of RES producers, the development of the energy storage market, and the integration of the Ukrainian market with European trading platforms.

In the near future, Altelaw & Sempra will publish a detailed legal analysis of the adopted changes: specifically what shifts for developers, investors, and producers, which opportunities the new law unlocks, and which regulatory risks require immediate attention.

Stay tuned for updates—our analysis will be comprehensive, practical, and to the point.
