Order No. 577-r introduces technical amendments to the parameters of the competition for the construction of new generating capacities and the implementation of demand-side management measures. The document increases the total volume of required capacity to be built and redistributes the volumes for a specific region. These changes are aimed at updating the state’s energy needs within the framework of implementing the power system development strategy.
**Structure and changes:**
The document is highly specialized in nature and consists of a preamble and two clauses that introduce direct amendments to the Annex to Order No. 488. The main change consists of an increase in the target indicator for total capacity from 1322 MW to 1505 MW. The volume for Lot No. 3 (Dnipropetrovsk region) has also been significantly changed, increasing from 100 MW to 283 MW.
**Key provisions:**
For market participants and investors, the updated quantitative indicators are of the utmost importance, as they define the scope of obligations and the potential for project implementation within the competition. The increase in capacity for the Dnipropetrovsk region indicates a shift in priorities regarding the siting of generating facilities. These figures are decisive for the preparation of tender documentation and the calculation of investment projects.
