The regulation of the electricity sector does not achieve its goals in 96% of cases. The quality of electricity supply in Ukraine is 14 times worse than in the EU and losses – 2 times more, while electricity prices are constantly increasing. The Ukrainian SMEs need 281 days to connect to electricity networks and sometimes it is impossible to do.
How to remove barriers to regulate the sector effectively? How to achieve a competitive balance under monopolized market conditions? When can Ukraine use smart energy?
The government and business representatives will work together to find answers and solutions to problems of the retail electricity market at the roundtable “Retail electricity market: regulation without thinking?” on May 18, 2017.
The event will be attended by:
- Maksim Nefyodov, the First Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine
- Oleksandr Dombrovsky, the Acting Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Fuel and Energy Complex, Nuclear Policy and Nuclear Safety

Business representatives
BRDO experts conducted a rolling review of the quality of market regulation, the results of which have been presented in the analytical research – the Green Paper “Rolling review of the retail electricity market”. Research conclusions show that the existing state regulation does not achieve its goals: it is unable to ensure either the rights of consumers to transparent access to electricity networks and reasonable electricity prices or the effective operation of energy companies.
