When Is an Electricity Generation License Required?
An electricity generation license is mandatory for companies that plan to operate legally in the Ukrainian energy market. It is required in two cases:
- Power plant with a capacity of 5 MW or more.
If your plant reaches this threshold, any electricity generation without a license is considered illegal.
- Selling electricity from alternative sources on the wholesale market.
Even if the plant’s capacity is below 5 MW, a license is required if you plan to sell electricity on the wholesale market. This applies to solar, wind, and other lawful alternative energy sources. Without a license, participation in the market is impossible.
What is the liability for violating these rules? Learn more in our material: Liability for selling electricity without a license: how to legally sell electrical energy.
Who Issues the Electricity Generation License?
The license is issued by the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission (NEURC). This ensures that your business operates legally and can fully enter the market, sign contracts, and sell the electricity it generates.

List of Documents Required to Obtain an Electricity Generation License
To obtain an electricity generation license, you must provide:
- EDRPOU code;
- bank details, either a bank statement confirming account opening or separately the account number, bank name, and MFO code;
- email and phone number for communication with Clients and partners;
- the name of the power plant (including those under construction or in the commissioning queue);
- the location of the power plant (electricity-generating units);
- information about the equipment used for electricity generation;
- copies of documents confirming the right to use the equipment;
- copies of technical passports;
- a diagram of the power plant’s connection to the electrical grid, indicating electricity metering devices.
How long is the license valid?
The license is issued for an indefinite term, and only as an electronic entry in the registry. However, at the Client’s request, we can obtain a paper copy of the resolution granting the license.
Please note! All documents for obtaining an electricity generation license must be submitted electronically. To do this, the company must have a qualified electronic signature (QES). It is also required for operating on the electricity market. Note that any QES is acceptable for obtaining the license, but the electricity market has a recommended list of electronic signatures for participants. Therefore, we always recommend that our clients obtain a QES that can be used for both licensing and future market operations.
Requirements for the Licensee to Obtain an Electricity Generation License
To successfully obtain an electricity generation license, the applicant must meet several key requirements:
- possession of premises and equipment for conducting the activity, either by ownership or lawful use;
- availability of a technical passport for the electricity-generating equipment (other documents confirming technical characteristics may also be acceptable);
- availability of a connection diagram showing how the power plant is connected to the electrical grid, including electricity metering devices.
During the preparation process, our team first reviews whether the applicant meets the regulatory requirements and provides recommendations if any discrepancies are found.
Answers to frequently asked questions
Do I need to create a website to obtain an electricity generation license?
No, you do not. However, a website is required after the license is obtained, once you begin operating as an electricity producer.
How long does it take to receive a decision on issuing the license?
The decision is made within 10 business days from the date the complete set of documents is submitted. However, during martial law, this timeframe may vary.
What capacity must a power plant have to obtain an electricity generation license?
Electricity generation is subject to licensing if the plant’s capacity is 5 MW or more. However, if you intend to sell electricity generated from alternative energy sources on the electricity market, a license is required regardless of the plant’s capacity.
Which energy sources qualify for this license?
Any lawful energy sources capable of producing electricity in Ukraine and supported by appropriate documentation (purchase or lease documents, technical passport, etc.) are eligible, including solar panels, wind turbines, and others.
Amending an Electricity Generation License
Although the electricity generation license is issued for an indefinite term, the licensee (a company that already holds the license) is required to notify the licensing authority of any changes to its data within one month from the date such changes occur. If your company has undergone changes (such as a change of name or location) or if you have acquired new electricity-generating equipment, you are obligated to inform the licensing authority.
We handle the process of registering these changes with the licensing authority. You can contact us, and once we agree on the timeframe, cost, and scope of services, we will complete the necessary updates.
