The Rada is expected to vote next month on a bill that would replace high renewable energy feed in tariffs with energy auctions. Matteo Pattrone, the new EBRD representative in Ukraine, warns excessively high feed in tariffs have provoked some governments to retroactively change the rates, hurting EBRD financed projects. A supporter of auctions, he tells the Kyiv Post: “It’s better to have a sustainable compensation regime than one that is too good to be true.” To jump-start foreign investment, Ukraine adopted in 2015 some of Europe’s highest feed in tariffs for renewable energy.
