NEURC Restricts Green Tariff Hours for Household Solar to Daytime Periods
Last editorial update:
On 11-12 August 2026, NEURC approved amendments limiting green tariff payments for household solar (up to 30 kW) to specific daytime hours: 04:00-23:00 in summer (Apr-Oct) and 06:00-21:00 in winter (Nov-Mar). Generation outside these windows is settled at day-ahead market prices. The change aims to improve metering accuracy and prevent battery discharge from claiming FiT outside solar hours.
Why it matters
Directly affects revenue models for 5-100 MW and smaller solar projects and hybrids with BESS in western and central Ukraine. Time-of-day restrictions reduce overnight export value, increasing the economic case for behind-the-meter storage and flexibility services. Investors must factor updated FiT eligibility into project finance and origination pipelines.
