The Ministry of Energy calls on businesses to install backup generation

Deputy Energy Minister of Ukraine Mykola Kolisnyk urges businesses to install backup generation, noting that it is economically beneficial and will help prepare for the heating season. He also emphasized the importance of solar panels for energy self-sufficiency. He said this during a telethon, UNN reports .

For business, it will not be superfluous to install backup generation. This way we can prepare for the next heating season

He emphasizes that all conditions have been provided for business to implement such projects. The Ministry of Energy understands that there is not much time, but it is important due to market conditions.

Market conditions are now sufficiently cost-effective to install backup power for generation and cover own business needs. In case of generation in excess of own needs, it is possible to sell it to the grid. In fact, these tools are commercially viable. That is why we encourage businesses to work in this area, according to common European rules

According to him, we have an extensive market for the installation of solar panels and this is a fully market-based mechanism that helps businesses meet their needs and, in principle, the energy sector in this case.

Having our own generation for our own needs is an important step towards self-sufficiency

Recall

The Ukrainian government has introduced a business support policy, allowing companies that import more than 30% of their energyto avoid restrictions on electricity consumption, and simplified procedures for creating backup autonomous energy production capacities to increase competitiveness in the EU market.
