Renewables accounted for 11% of Ukraine's electricity generation in 2025 – regulator

That is according to the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities, Ukrinform reports.

"In 2025, electricity produced from renewable energy sources (RES) accounted for 11% of the total electricity generation structure in Ukraine. During the analyzed period, the share of RES facilities in installed generating capacity increased to 20.4%, taking into account the capacities of private households," the statement said.

In the structure of electricity production from renewable sources, solar power plants traditionally hold the largest share – 78%. The share of wind power plants is 12%, facilities generating electricity from biogas and biomass – 8%, and small hydropower plants – 2%.

During 2025, 101 generating units with a total capacity of 658 MW switched to the market premium mechanism, which is 40% more compared to 2024.
