Conditions for New Electricity Producers
According to government resolution No. 403, the updated PSO applies to electricity producers that are put into operation for the first time after December 1, 2025. It is important to note that this refers specifically to newly constructed facilities, not to reconstructed, modernized, or restored energy capacities.
The generating equipment of such enterprises must be located within the Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Mykolaiv, or Odesa regions. The supply of gas for electricity production will be provided at a price of 19,000 hryvnias per thousand cubic meters (including VAT), provided the producer is a participant in the electricity market.
Changes in Gas Supply Rules
According to the new rules, the Gas Company “Naftogaz Trading” will enter into gas supply contracts only with those electricity producers who meet the aforementioned criteria. At the same time, the government has excluded the provision that stipulated the supply of gas at a fixed price for all thermal power plants, combined heat and power plants, gas turbine, and gas piston installations.
The Cabinet of Ministers has extended the special obligations regarding the sale of gas at a fixed price for new electricity producers from “blue fuel” located in frontline regions until September 30, 2026.
Earlier, on March 10, the government extended the PSO for gas supply for heat producers for the inter-heating period until the end of September 2026.
