NEC "Ukrenergo" held the second special auction for the purchase of automatic frequency restoration reserves (aRVC) for a period of 5 years, during which the participants demonstrated a high level of competition.
"According to the preliminary results, an average of 240 MW of load service reserves were purchased each hour, which is more than 41% of the auctioned demand. Also, on average, about 260 MW of load and unload services were purchased each hour (symmetric reserve ) - 62% of the need," the system operator reported on Thursday.
Previously, all participants of the auction - 35 companies that made 807 offers - are winners. Of the winning bids, there are 41 units of generating equipment. About 90% of the auction participants are new to the company's energy market.
According to the information of "Ukrenergo", the company at the auction bought two types of services for providing aRVCH: 579 MW - load service, i.e. the ability of electrical installations to support the power system due to an increase in the supply of electrical energy to the network, and 421 MW - symmetrical reserve, i.e. the ability of electrical installations to discharge and load depending from the needs of the energy system of Ukraine.
"The final results will be made public after the appeal period defined by the Market Rules," the NEC said.
On average, at the auction, the prices of load offers ranged from UAH 484 to 971.15 per megawatt, and for symmetrical reserve - from UAH 1049.40 to 1330.13/MW.
As reminded in "Ukrenergo", currently the maximum price for reserve purchase services is UAH 1,339.82/MW.
The winners of the aRVC service auction will have a fixed EUR contract with Ukrenergo for 5 years, with a one-year delay in the start of service provision.
"That is, investors will have time until October 2025 to build a new power plant and undergo equipment certification. So, in a year, new balancing capacities will appear in the Ukrainian energy system," NEK explained.
Auxiliary services for automatic frequency restoration reserve are services for the readiness of generating equipment to constantly respond to changes in interstate flows between the power systems of Ukraine and neighboring states. This reserve is provided automatically, and the full activation time does not exceed 15 minutes. This type of reserve is necessary for the stable and balanced operation of the Ukrainian energy system.
As reported, on August 15, Ukrenergo purchased 99 MW of frequency support reserve for 5 years at the first long-term special auction for auxiliary services.
As the head of Ukrenergo, Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, explained earlier, the first auction is the so-called primary regulation (RPCH, frequency support reserve, command execution within 15 seconds - ER), and mainly energy storage systems (ESS) were supposed to participate in it - very fast maneuverable installations. The second auction - on aRVCH (automatic frequency restoration reserve - ER), execution of the command within 15 minutes. In particular, gas piston, gas turbine installations and biomass power plants could participate in this auction.

22 of the 35 winning companies of the long-term special auction of "Ukrenergo" for the purchase of services of automatic reserve of frequency restoration (aRVCH) have paid financial security to escrow accounts. Thus, they guaranteed the fulfillment of their obligations, and therefore - 278 MW of new balancing capacities should appear in the Ukrainian energy system in a year. By August 15, 2025, the winning companies must undergo equipment certification, and from October - start providing this service in the Ukrainian energy system.
In particular, it is now finally guaranteed:
🔹construction of new capacities to provide up to 68 MW of load services, that is, the ability of electrical installations to support the power system by increasing the supply of electrical energy to the network;
🔹construction of new capacities to provide up to 210 MW of symmetrical reserve, that is, the ability of electrical installations to both load and unload - depending on the needs of the energy system of Ukraine.
Another of the winners is an existing provider of ancillary services and has guaranteed the provision of reserves with already certified equipment with a capacity of 119 MW.
Regarding the cost of purchased services. The weighted average price of 1 megawatt at the special auction was UAH 833.05 for load and UAH 1219.41/MW for symmetrical reserve. For comparison: currently, Ukrenergo pays an average of UAH 971.95 for loading services and UAH 1,339.64/MW for symmetric reserve services for 1 megawatt of services for the provision of aRVCH. Savings in 5 years, in case of unchanged prices, will amount to almost 1.8 billion hryvnias.
Auxiliary services for the provision of automatic frequency restoration reserve are services for the readiness of generating equipment to constantly respond to changes in interstate flows between the power systems of Ukraine and neighboring states. This reserve is provided automatically, and the full activation time does not exceed 15 minutes.
