Authorization
According to Directive 2009/28/EU and Directive (EU) 2018/2001, Ukraine, like other Contracting Parties of the Energy Community, shall create a Guarantees of Origin (GO) system and ensure its functioning. So far Ukraine has not fulfilled the specified obligations.
The introduction of the system of Guarantees of Origin in Ukraine will have a positive effect on the export of electricity to EU countries: it will ensure stable demand for Ukrainian “green” electricity among consumers in the EU and contribute to stable income from the sale of electricity. Moreover, the income from the sale of GO will improve settlements with RES producers, and allow reducing the financial impact of the current PSO model on the electricity transmission services tariff of NPC Ukrenergo.
UWEA and UARE appealed to the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and the NEURC to facilitate as soon as possible the finalization of changes in the current legislation to provide the rapid implementation of the GO system. The associations expressed their readiness to participate in discussion of relevant changes to the legislation regarding the development and implementation of the GO system with the involvement of state authorities and representatives of associations in the nearest future.
“Given that the mentioned issue has remained unresolved in Ukraine for almost 10 years, the associations stand for finalizing the text of the draft law with relative state bodies and industry associations engagement for the effective implementation of the Guarantees of Origin system in Ukraine within the shortest possible period, » the letter says.
