1.5 GW Flexible Generation Tender Bid Deadline Set for 8 October; Documentation Finalised
Last editorial update:
On 13 August 2026 the tender commission finalised documentation and set the bid acceptance deadline at 17:00 on 8 October 2026 for 1.5 GW of new generating capacity. Minimum unit size 10 MW, 20-year life, second-level protection required. Support via market premium up to 27.92 €c/kWh during morning/evening peaks (5–7 hours/day). Regional quotas include 250 MW for Kyiv + Cherkasy.
Why it matters
Opens a major procurement window for ≥10 MW peak/semi-peak and flexible capacity (gas, hybrid possible) in central regions including Kyiv and Cherkasy (250 MW quota). Market-premium support during peak hours improves revenue certainty for flexibility assets that can complement or hybridise with renewables and BESS in power-deficient zones relevant to western-central project pipelines.
