KYIV, Nov 5 – Ukrenergo last night for the first time was forced to limit "green" generation at Botiyevska, Prymorska-1 and Orlovska wind farms (all are within DTEK Group), Andriy Gerus, the head of the Verkhovna Rada committee on energy and housing and utilities services, has stated.
"Such a limitation was 300-400 MW at certain hours of the night. Nevertheless, according to the existing rules, DTEK will still receive the payment of a feed-in euro tariff of UAH 2.9 per kWh (EUR0.102), despite the fact that the energy system did not need but did not use the electricity produced by the corresponding wind farms (the price of the matter is millions of hryvnias). The corresponding payment will fall on state-owned Energoatom, Ukrhydroenergo and the Ukrenergo tariff, which all consumers will pay for," he said on Facebook.
