Key messages:
- Since 2017 RES capacities are dynamically growing and are likely to cover around 7% of Ukraine`s electricity generation in 2021
- This positive development towards the targets of the Energy Strategy 2035 comes at excessive costs as the Green Tariff is clearly above the generation cost of RES
- Significantly cutting the FITs already in 2019 would lead to relevant cost reductions for the period 2019 2030 . However, cost of electricity will rise if Ukraine wants to reach its RES targets
- In order to keep costs low and to stabilize the RES development a sound and future oriented support scheme is required that balances development and costs and takes into account geographical and grid aspects
