#Electricity Market

The European Business Association has once again urged NEURC to review electricity price caps, warning that current price ceilings restrict imports from the EU and the development of new generation.

A delay in raising electricity price caps may limit EU imports and force the energy system to rely on expensive emergency assistance.

Chronic debts in the electricity balancing market have exceeded 46 billion UAH, deterring private investors from building new generation capacities needed for Ukraine's energy system.

Ukrainian businesses can lower costs and earn money from electricity price differentials using storage systems, said D.Solutions CEO Serhii Kovalenko.

Manual regulation of price caps in Ukraine's energy sector deprives investors of predictability and deters investments in new capacities needed after a 7 GW deficit.

The current 15,000 UAH/MWh electricity price cap does not match the economics of distributed gas generation, prompting calls for a 25-30% increase.

Ukrainian RES associations urge NEURC to raise electricity price caps to UAH 18,000/MWh to prevent market constraints and capacity shortages.

Expert Oleksandr Rogozin stated the need to raise electricity price caps by at least 25% before winter to ensure EU imports and gas generation operations.

ICC Ukraine urged the NEURC to raise electricity price caps to 18,000 UAH/MWh, warning of risks to EU imports and gas generation.

The European Business Association urged NEURC to revise electricity price caps to prevent winter shortages and ensure viable commercial imports.

ICC Ukraine Vice President Oleksandr Trokhymets stated that price caps on electricity set by NRECU create an artificial shortage of supply during peak hours and ultimately harm consumers by blocking market pricing.

Former head of Ukrenergo Volodymyr Kudrytskyi stated that the unpredictable changes to price caps on the wholesale electricity market are scaring off investors and blocking the development of new generation in Ukraine.
