BRDO together with USAID LEV and EasyBusiness agreed on financial model of connecting to electricity supply networks

The Better Regulation Delivery Office BRDO together with the USAID Leadership in Economic Governance (LEV) Program and EasyBusiness agreed on main mechanisms and principles of financial model of connecting to electricity supply networks. The BRDO Energy Sector Head Oleksii Orzhel said about it.

“We agreed that financial model procedures and mechanisms must be transparent. The information on the connection cost must be available. Applicants also must clearly understand terms and the cost of electricity supply networks connection,” Oleksii Orzhel said.

According to him, the financial model must be sustainable and stable; it must predict reimbursement of costs to connect a regional transmission company.

This model will be included in the draft law on simplifying the procedures of connecting to electricity supply networks developed by the Better Regulation Delivery Office BRDO with USAID LEV experts within the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade working group. The draft law is ready for submitting to the Parliament.

It is to be reminded that introducing the optimized procedure of standard connection to electricity supply networks will allow the business to save more than 5,000 hryvnias on every connection procedure. The total amount for the whole country would be more than 285 million hryvnias.
