Ukraine energy report

• The country liberalised the residential gas market in 2020.
• Renewables should reach 70% of the power mix by 2050.
• DTEK is the main coal producer and generator of thermal electricity.
• Gas TSO of Ukraine was unbundled from NaftaGas as of January 2020.
• Ukraine stopped importing natural gas from Russia in 2015.
• Energy production has been deeply affected by asset destruction in Eastern energy-rich regions.
• Ukraine is implementing a very aggressive policy to eradicate energy subsidies.
• The Government has sharply raised household energy prices.
• Sharp decrease in the total energy consumption since 2010.
• The civil war is causing dramatic damages and losses in energy assets throughout the country.
• The Government will complete units 3 and 4 at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant in 2023-2024.

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy supervises the energy sector through several departments (oil and gas, electricity, coal, nuclear power).

  The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources oversees climate change policy and provides licences for oil and gas field development, among other tasks.

• Energy Companies

  Gas:

  The gas sector is dominated by state-owned company Naftogaz, which was reorganised into public joint-stock companies in 2012.

• Energy Supply

  Gas:

  Gas production has remained roughly stable at around 20 bcm since 2004 (21 bcm in 2019). The country imported 36% of its gas needs in 2019.

• Energy Prices

  Electricity:

  Regulated electricity prices are set by the regulator NEURC. According to the decree of 2014 on the approval of electricity tariffs by the NEURC, end-user electricity tariffs must cover the full cost and be the same for all regions.

  Ukraine used a three-step pricing model (also called "increasing block tariffs") where the rate per kWh increases as the volume of consumption increases.

• Energy Consumption

  Ukraine's total energy consumption per capita used to be rather high (4.7 toe/cap in 1992), but dropped sharply to only 2 toe/cap in 2019.

  Electricity consumption per capacity is around 2 600 kWh, which is less than half that for Russia. It dropped from its peak level of 4 400 kWh in 1990.

• Issues & Prospects

  Because of Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula in 2014, Ukraine has lost an estimated US$300bn worth of energy assets and energy reserves/resources. This includes the loss of 18 oil and gas fields; more than 1 200 km of gas pipelines; and an underground gas storage facility.

In the Ukraine energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
• Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator, gas plant projects by status and operator and LNG contracts.

The Ukraine energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Ukraine country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Ukraine Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Ukraine energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
