Nine companies participated in the auction, submitting 93 bids with a total proposed capacity of 1,218.1 MW. Bid prices ranged from 2.98 to 7.4 euro cents per kWh.

Strong business participation in the auction demonstrates investors’ interest in developing new wind power projects in Ukraine.

Wind energy development is an important component of strengthening Ukraine’s energy resilience, diversifying electricity generation and attracting investment to the energy sector.

In August, the Government of Ukraine updated the rules governing auctions for renewable energy support, significantly simplifying the conditions for investor participation.

On 25 September, the first auctions under the updated rules were successfully held to allocate support quotas for new solar power plants (SPPs) and solar power plants combined with energy storage systems (SPPs + ESS).
