In this section of our website, you can get acquainted with the main stages and constituent elements that arise during the construction of industrial solar power plants on the territory of Ukraine, regardless of their capacity. Industrial solar stations are called solar energy facilities, established by legal entities on the ground, on the facade or roof.
* Independent rating of companies for the construction of PV stations in Ukraine from 2010 - 2020.
For electricity generated from solar radiation by energy facilities, regardless of their capacity, the tariff is determined in accordance with the electricity purchase agreement on the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) and within the balancing group. From May 1, 2024, to October 1, 2024, the average tariff for solar power plants (SPPs) on the DAM is 4 UAH per kWh, excluding VAT.
The actual payback period for such SPPs is up to 5 years, depending on the electricity price on the DAM, without taking into account revenue from the sale of guarantees of origin for electricity. The implementation period for such projects is generally up to 6 months.
For electricity generated from solar radiation by energy facilities connected within the existing connection capacity under a Distribution Agreement with the Distribution System Operator (DSO) through the self-production mechanism, the tariff is determined as a combination of savings from operating the solar power plant (SPP) to reduce its own consumption and revenue from the sale of excess electricity in accordance with the electricity purchase agreement on the Day-Ahead Market (DAM). From May 1, 2024, to October 1, 2024, the average cost of 1 kWh for consumption is 8-9 UAH, while the average tariff for SPPs on the DAM is 4 UAH per kWh, excluding VAT.
The actual payback period for such solar power plants (SPPs) is up to 3 years, depending on the electricity price on the Day-Ahead Market (DAM), transportation, and distribution costs, excluding revenue from the sale of guarantees of origin for electricity. The implementation period for such projects is generally up to 4 months.
For electricity generated from solar radiation by energy facilities that are connected within the existing connection capacity under a Distribution Agreement with the Distribution System Operator (DSO) and that operate exclusively to reduce their own consumption, without generating into the external grid, the average cost of 1 kWh for consumption from May 1, 2024, to October 1, 2024, is 8-9 UAH, excluding VAT.
The actual payback period for solar power plants (SPPs) is up to 3 years, and this payback period can decrease with an increase in electricity prices for commercial enterprises. The overall project implementation period is up to 3 months. This SPP does not allow for the sale of electricity on the Day-Ahead Market (DAM) or the revenue from the sale of green certificates.
This type of system is completely independent of external regulatory factors and does not require coordination with the Distribution Company ("Oblenegro"). The feasibility of installing this type of solar power plant (SPP) depends solely on the cost per kWh of electricity for industrial enterprises.
All stages are indicated in the required sequence. It is possible to perform some stages in parallel, with a total time interval of 6-8 months, regardless of the capacity of the PV.
