Ukrenergo Commission Finalizes 1.5 GW Flexible Generation Tender Documentation and Sets Bid Deadline for 8 October 2026
Last editorial update:
The tender commission updated documentation based on investor feedback and set the bid acceptance deadline at 17:00 on 8 October 2026 for 1,505 MW of new highly maneuverable capacity. Quotas allocate 250 MW to Kyiv/Cherkasy, with support via market premium mechanism for peak hours. Facilities must be at least 10 MW, have second-level protection, and 20-year life; commissioning expected by end-2027.
Why it matters
This is the largest tender for new flexible generating capacity in Ukraine's history, targeting power-deficient regions including central (Kyiv, Cherkasy) areas. It offers market premium support up to ~28 eurocents/kWh during peak hours for min 10 MW facilities with black-start and protection requirements, directly enabling origination and investment decisions for flexible generation and hybrid projects critical for grid resilience and renewable integration.
