Construction of a new generation: "Ukrenergo" assessed when to expect the first results

Acting Head of the Board of Ukrenergo Oleksiy Brekht, commenting on the construction of new generation in Ukraine, expressed the opinion that the first results will be next winter. He told this to a journalist of UNN.

We held a competition for the construction of a new generation. We received proposals for a value of about 430 MW. We opened the relevant commercial proposals on Monday. I think that by the end of this week we will already make an announcement and there will be a clear understanding of how many of these facilities will go into the construction process. According to my estimate, it will be no less than 300 MW

The head of "Ukrenergo" believes that in the near future, no later than in a month and a half, an additional competition will be held.

"Because this competition gave interesting results, we received a very attractive cost of building a unit of generating capacity - at a much lower level than expected," said Oleksiy Brekht.

Also, the acting Head of the Board of NEC "Ukrenergo" commented on how long it will take to build a new generation.

There are quite fast projects - half a year, and there are projects that can be implemented for two years, depending on the type of generation: gas piston, gas turbine, combined cycle plant. But most are gas piston, so I expect that we will get the first results in the coming winter

Deputy Minister of Energy Mykola Kolisnyk reported that in 2025 Ukraine plans to put into operation 900 MW of new distributed generation capacities, mostly gas. This will continue the active development of this area, which began in 2024, when 835 MW were put into operation.

In 2024, Ukraine significantly simplified the procedures for the development of distributed generation. Financial incentives have been introduced for businesses and citizens.
