The study analyzed the current state and perspective directions of development of electric power complex of Ukraine. The problematic issues that have accumulated over many decades are highlighted. In particular, one of the main threats to the normal functioning of the electric power industry is a small proportion of maneuvering, peak and half-peak capacities. An analysis of the main events that took place during 2018-early 2020 in the electricity sector of Ukraine was conducted. The main tasks defined by the Energy Strategy of Ukraine for the period up to 2035 were considered. The analysis of legislative initiatives, in particular, requirements and improvement of the law “On Electric Energy Market”, the principles of work and basic requirements for the created Electricity Transmission System Operator was carried out. The reasons for the Guaranteed Buyer’s debt on electricity market to producers working at the “green” tariff have been determined. An analysis of the so-called “Gerus amendment” was carried out. This amendment allowed import of electricity from Russian Federation. The main threats to the introduction of market relations in a monopolized electric energy market were also identified. An analysis of the development of renewable energy sector was conducted. Since 2015, sector has increased its installed capacity from 701 megawatt to 5.4 gigawatt, or almost eight times. The main threats that can be realized with an increase in green energy capacities were analyzed. It was determined that the cost of supplying one kilowatt-hour of electric energy from renewable energy sources is much higher than from other sources. As a result of this, the share of energy from renewable energy sources in the tariff structure is many times higher than the share in the generation structure. A review of legislative innovations to limit the development of renewable energy sources was conducted.The article also analyzed data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine regarding the dynamics of electricity prices for all categories of consumers, taking into account transportation and distribution services

Economic Tools

Electricity generation is the single most important sector in which CO2 reductions are achievable, with advanced generation technologies available and the existence of a centralised production structure, if compared to the transport or the industrial sector. It is a market undergoing a radical change in Europe, with competition rising as it is enforced by the deregulation of the markets, though to varying degrees on a national level. At the same time it is a sector characterised by efforts to support green energy systems and also by the increasing significance of international trade. It is therefore of interest to examine the impact of the technological and economic changes on the CO2 emissions due to electricity generation, in order to try to assess the feasibility of the emissions reduction policies as foreseen by a series of treaties and protocols. The points discussed in this paper focus on the interference of the recent market developments, the policies and economic tools applied in Europe and the state of the art conventional and renewable generation technologies, with respect to their contribution to the aim of reducing emissions.
