July 20 – 26

  • With support from the EBRD, JSC “Ukrnafta” began implementing a project to build a gas-fired combined heat and power plant with a capacity of approximately 250 MW, which will provide electricity and heat to the local community and offer ancillary services to the power grid. The company is currently conducting a second round of market consultations with equipment suppliers in accordance with EBRD procurement procedures.
  • According to the Ministry of Energy, approximately 1.8 GW of distributed gas-fired generation has already been installed in Ukraine, as well as 7.3 GW of solar power, 1.115 GW of wind power, and over 600 MW of energy storage systems. At the same time, capacity continues to expand: since March, 388.8 MW of new gas-fired generation has been commissioned, and another 532.2 MW is under development.
  • The NEURC published a draft resolution that provides for the introduction of an annual survey of electricity consumers to determine the VOLL (value of lost load) indicator – the economic cost of unplanned power outages. The survey results will be used to calculate a single national VOLL indicator based on data regarding losses from outages, costs of backup power, and consumers’ willingness to pay to avoid or accept compensation for power outages.
  • The Ministry of Energy reported that since the beginning of 2026, Ukraine has received 4,466 units of power equipment from international partners, including generators, transformers, cogeneration units, and modular boiler plants. Another 1,204 units of equipment are expected to be delivered in the near future, and in total, since March 2022, Ukraine has received 2,505 humanitarian shipments weighing a total of 32,000 metric tons, of which more than 28,300 metric tons have already been distributed to the regions.
  • The EBRD plans to provide up to EUR 70 million in financing as part of a loan package totaling up to EUR 250 million for the construction of two wind power plants with a combined capacity of 258 MW, which will generate approximately 730 GWh of electricity per year and reduce CO₂ emissions by about 469,000 metric tons annually.
  • The IMF has completed the first review of the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program, which resulted in Ukraine’s access to approximately USD 690 million of funding and update of the timeline for implementing structural reforms. In the energy sector, the program sets updated deadlines for adopting a roadmap for the gradual liberalization of the electricity and gas markets (by the end of 2026), as well as measures to strengthen the independence and integrity of the NEURC, including the adoption of a corresponding draft law by the end of October 2026.
