Thus, the installed capacity of certified facilities increased to 3.1 GW of electrical capacity (+20% compared to 2024).
  • On January 7, Energoatom held the first special auction, in which Ukrenergo participated to compensate for technological losses of electricity; as a result, 400 MW of base load was contracted for January 9–31 at a price of 3,613 UAH/MWh, which is almost half the company’s weighted average selling price in the unregulated market segment in the second half of January 2026.
