By KYIV. May 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities has granted all electricity consumers, both domestic and non-residential, the right to sell electricity generated by their own generating and/or energy storage stations to any supplier under a free contract and at a negotiated price.
“Such a decision will help expand competition in the retail electricity market and is aimed at developing distributed generation and conducting a green energy transformation,” the commission said.
