Commission to accept bids for 1.5 GW generation tender until evening of Oct 8
Bids for a tender to build 1.5 GW of new generating capacity in Ukraine's power-deficient regions will be accepted through Oct 8 inclusive.
Bids for a 1.5 GW generation tender in Ukraine's power-deficient regions will be accepted through October 8, 2026. The commission overseeing the tender, led by First Deputy Energy Minister Artem Nekrasov, made the decision to update the tender documentation based on feedback from potential participants. The final version includes a clear deadline for bid acceptance, detailed requirements for submitted documents, a sample bid proposal form, a mechanism for transferring rights and obligations from the winner to third parties, and clarified requirements for potential participants to have no outstanding debt to Ukrenergo.
Ukrenergo expects strong investor interest, particularly from Ukrainian investors, with a focus on peak and semi-peak gas generation. The regions receiving a quota of 250 MW each include Kyiv and Cherkasy, while Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and Odesa regions receive varying amounts up to 100 MW. Each energy facility must have a minimum operating life of 20 years, meet technical requirements for balancing the unified energy system, have a capacity of at least 10 MW, and be commissioned by the end of 2027.
Ukrenergo will support winners through a market premium mechanism if electricity prices fall below a certain level during peak-load hours.
