Support scheme for electricity output from renewables in Ukraine, starting in 2030

Abstract

Ukraine has an officially adopted target for energy from renewables of 25% by 2035. Renewable energy producers in Ukraine enjoy a feed-in tariff, valid until 2030. In Ukraine, a debate has begun on whether the feed-in tariff should be prolonged. This paper focuses on the projected cost of electricity from renewables, nuclear and fossil fuels in Ukraine in 2030, based on a levelized cost of energy (LCOE) approach. Results indicate that prolongation of the feed-in tariff is necessary for most types of energy generation from renewables. The existing rate of the CO2 emissions tax is too low to affect the LCOE of fossil fuel-based electricity. Coupled with the projected low price for coal and natural gas, this will make renewables less competitive in Ukraine in 2030 if there is no feed-in tariff.
