Policy Briefing

September 3, 2020 — Policy Briefing

NPP Analysis – May 2020

NPP electricity generation in May was significantly below the economic efficient level. This cannot be explained by Covid-related demand decrease or a high RES generation share.

July 15, 2020 — Policy Briefing

Regulating Curtailment

Curtailing and compensating RES can be cheaper than taking up 100% of RES electricity through investment into conventional plant park or transmission.

May 26, 2020 — Policy Briefing

The effects of COVID-19 on electricity consumption in 2020

2020 electricity consumption might decrease by 5% (best case) to 8% (worst-case scenario).

December 20, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Electricity for all

Basic technological & economic features of electricity markets (in EU countries). Challenges in market development: new forms of trading, sector coupling and digitalisation.

December 14, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Renewable Energy in Ukraine

Further RES expansion is needed to replace the ageing power plant fleet and to sustain energy security. To account for a higher variability in the system, different instruments can be utilized.

December 10, 2019 — Policy Briefing

CO2 taxation in Ukraine

Tax revenues from a potential upstream carbon tax in Ukraine of 27UAH/t CO2 are estimated between UAH 5.6 and 6.1 bln. Price increases from taxation are strongest for coal (+3.5%-4.3%).

November 8, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Russian Ukrainian Electricity Trade

Increasing electricity imports from Russia can help to improve competition, reduce prices and reduce emissions. But it should be regulated to minimize adverse effects.

September 23, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Aspects of RES-support in Ukraine

The Ukrainian electricity system can absorb fluctuations of higher RES shares and support a further expansion with RES auctions.

August 23, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Making Ukraine’s Electricity Market work for Ukrainians

Analysis of (inflated) wholesale prices after electricity market opening. What could be done in the short and long run to fix this?

June 27, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Electricity Market Opening – assessment of latest regulations

Before the deadline for electricity market opening, Ukraine’s official work hard to patch the holes in the upcoming regulatory framework. Does it help or constraints the future market?

June 21, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Promoting structural change in Ukrainian coal regions

A successful structural change can avoid a negative impact on the labour market and trigger an economic shift towards a more future-oriented industry.

May 28, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Summary: Risks of opening the Ukrainian Electricity Market

Ukraine is about to liberalise its electricity market. Yet the devil is in the details: the rules are far from perfect and key players are not ready. What are the risks?

May 28, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Analysis: Risks of opening the Ukrainian Electricity Market

The market opening on July 1st may have negative impact on final prices for industries and economy as a whole. With little time left, at least critical risks should be mitigated.

March 29, 2019 — Policy Briefing

RES auctions in Ukraine Quota Sizing

25% of electricity generation can come from Renewables in 2035 when annually installing around 500MW, what seems realistically as of today.

March 28, 2019 — Policy Briefing

A Scenario based 2035 Forecast of Electricity Demand in Ukraine

Ukraine’s 2035 electricity demand is estimated based on GDP growth, electricity price and energy efficiency trajectories. Only in a high GDP growth scenario, demand increases substantially.

March 28, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Local curtailment charges for RES

The concentration of wind and solar plants in high-yield regions increases balancing needs and grid constraints. We recommend introducing a transparent curtailment charge mechanism.

March 25, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Energy and Climate Targets – An Overview

Key messages: Multitude of energy & climate obligations must be coordinatedRES share surpasses unambitious targetsDiffering indicators in national strategies – risk to cause confusionProgress in energy intensity – but still a long way aheadEmission targets are not ambitious

January 30, 2019 — Policy Briefing

Stabilizing the support for renewables

Ukraine is about to adopt changes to the RE support law and introduce auction-based remuneration scheme. But is it not too late? Will the conservative changes to FIT help to contain the expensive boom?

November 2, 2018 — Policy Briefing

Exploiting benefits of small solar and biogas

Small renewables projects can have important side benefits. Well targeted feed-in tariffs can support a cost-efficient deployment.

November 1, 2018 — Policy Briefing

Location selection and wind solar mix

Wind and solar installations should be distributed over the country. Policy should strive for an optimal mix of wind and solar installations in order to reduce system cost.

October 1, 2018 — Policy Briefing

Balancing Renewables in Ukraine

Based on a LCU’s Optimised Dispatch Model (ODM), we assess that the current Ukrainian power system can balance fluctuations of up to 15 GW of wind and solar (overview of results).
