The NEURC proposes to set the electricity transmission tariff for 2026 at 786.74 UAH/MWh, which is 14.6% higher than the current level. This was reported by the Telegram channel TOK, citing the agenda of the Commission’s meeting scheduled for November 4.

At the same time, for green metallurgy, it is planned to set the transmission tariff at 428.63 UAH/MWh (+19.2% compared to the current rate).

What is included in the tariff?

Expenses related to the purchase of electricity to compensate for technological transmission losses are determined at 15.7 billion UAH. The forecasted technological electricity losses for transmission through power grids, to be purchased on the bilateral contracts market (BCM), day-ahead market (DAM), and balancing market, are taken into account in the ratio of 69%, 28%, and 3%, respectively, according to Ukrenergo’s proposal.

The forecasted purchase price of technological electricity losses on the DAM for 2026 is 6,070.66 UAH/MWh.

The item “Expenses for the fulfillment of special obligations to ensure public interests” is set at almost 33.8 billion UAH. The forecasted average weighted “green” tariff for electricity amounts to 6,679.25 UAH/MWh.

Meanwhile, the forecasted average weighted selling price of electricity by the Guaranteed Buyer in all market segments is 3,207 UAH/MWh. The forecasted electricity transmission volume by NPC Ukrenergo is set at 94,842 million kWh.
