Ukrenergo, which operates the nation’s power lines, will increase its transmission tariff by decision of the Ukrainian energy regulator. While the increase is less than originally planned, it has attracted controversy.
Starting next month, transmission tariffs for using the electrical grid will go up by 54% — from Hr 155 per megawatt-hour to Hr 240.
The National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission made the decision to increase the revenue of grid operator Ukrenergo, which has struggled to afford expensive renewable energy.
