Our paper “Attracting private investments into clean electricity” proposes the establishment of an investment fund for renewable energy projects in Ukraine.
The proposed fund aims to strengthen the bankability of private clean energy projects in Ukraine by guaranteeing a minimum payout (price) for electricity provided.
This will help to provide planning certainty for investors and lenders, with details to be determined in cooperation with investors and stakeholders.
Payouts of the fund are a function of the difference between a pre-determined strike price and the market price of electricity.
The long-term financial sustainability of the fund will depend on its financial resources and the expected payouts. The possible level of such payments is examined here.
