Ukraine has launched two renewable energy auctions – 50 MW for solar PV and 100 MW for solar-plus-storage projects
The maximum bid price is €0.08/kWh for solar PV and €0.12/kWh for solar-plus-storage projects
Projects can be located across several Ukrainian regions, with bids to be submitted through Prozorro.Sale
Ukraine’s JSC “Guaranteed Buyer”, the state-owned renewable energy buyer, has launched two auctions offering a combined 150 MW of support for new solar power projects, including systems paired with energy storage.
The first auction offers a 50 MW quota for solar PV projects with a ceiling of €0.08/kWh on bids.
The other auction is for 100 MW solar-plus-storage capacity with a maximum bid price of €0.12/kWh. For projects under this category, the storage system must have a power capacity of at least 80% of the solar plant’s installed capacity with at least 2 kWh for every kW of installed solar capacity. Support will be available to the winning facilities from 00:00 to 11:59 hrs. and from 14:00 to 23:59 hrs. No market premium will be paid during the period from 12:00 to 13:59 hrs.
The auctions cover projects in several Ukrainian regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Cherkasy, and Chernihiv, as well as Kyiv city.
The last date to submit bids for these auctions is September 24, 2026, while bidding is scheduled for September 25. The bidding will take place through the electronic trading system of JSC “Prozorro.Sale” via authorized electronic marketplaces.
According to the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine, the country targets to install more than 1.5 GW of solar and over 3 GWh of battery storage capacity in 2026, as it goes about rebuilding its power system as it deals with power shortages and electricity imports (see Ukraine Targets 1.5 GW Solar, 3 GWh Storage In 2026).
