Sun, wind, and land auctions: legislative changes and new rules of the game in the energy sector for investors

Solar and wind generation remain one of the most promising areas for investment. However, the market is gradually shifting from a model of rapid growth to professional competitive development. In these conditions, the ability to adapt to new market rules is becoming a key asset for investors.

A key marker of this transition is the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding the Improvement of the Functioning of Energy Markets, Competitive Conditions for Electricity Production from Renewable Energy Sources, and Strengthening Energy Resilience." This article describes the key changes introduced by the said Law, how they will affect RES (Renewable Energy Sources) projects, and the practical aspects of its implementation for market participants.
