New law implements European practices regarding use of biomass for power generation and establishes "green" tariffs at the reasonable levels, defined by international experience. It introduces also incentives for households to use wind power generators.
The feed-in tariff continues to be fixed in euro until 2030, and its amount is specified by multiplication of the retail tariff as of January 2009 (EUR 0.05385) by the feed-in tariff coefficient for the relevant type of alternative energy. National Commission for State Energy and Public Utilities Regulation will quarterly (used to be monthly) convert the feed-in tariff into national currency on the basis of the average official currency rate of the National Bank of Ukraine.
The households may now be equipped not only with solar power plants, but also with wind turbines with capacity of up to 30 kW, but exceeding capacity allowed under the agreement on electricity use.
The feed-in tariff for electricity generated from geothermal energy is introduced.
As of now, the use of equipment of Ukrainian origin will be stimulated by the relevant premium to the feed-in tariff.
The law also canceled previous requirement regarding local component, which contradicted with Ukraine's international agreements. Read more at www.renewablesinternational.net
