When Do You Need to Obtain an Electricity Production License?
Electricity production is licensed by the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission when a power plant’s (or power generating installations') capacity reaches 5 MW or more. It is also required if you intend to sell electricity produced from alternative energy sources on the wholesale electricity market, regardless of the plant’s capacity.
Process of Obtaining an Electricity Production License
The process of obtaining a license for electricity production is crucial for any business planning to engage in this activity. This process includes:
- Preparing documents for submission (applications, detailed reports, etc.);
- Submitting the complete package of documents and information to the NEURC;
- Monitoring the review of documents by the NEURC;
- Providing payment details for the license issuance fee;
- Receiving a certified copy of the resolution that confirms the issuance of the license.
Our company manages the entire licensing process and additionally offers:
- Development of a website for the electricity producer that fully complies with the licensing authority’s requirements.
- Facilitating entry into the electricity market in the desired sectors, supporting the negotiation and execution of market contracts for starting operations. We also provide advisory services to our clients for a safe start in the electricity market
We strive to simplify your path to obtaining a license and entering the market, minimizing potential risks and ensuring confidence at every step.
Cost and Duration for Obtaining an Electricity Production License
The license is typically issued within 10 working days from the date of document submission.
The service cost does not cover the state fee for license issuance, which amounts to UAH 3,028. Once the Commission approves the license issuance, we will provide you with the details for making the official payment.

List of Documents Required for Obtaining an Electricity Production License
To apply for an electricity production license, the following documents are necessary:
- EDRPOU code;
- Banking details — you can provide a bank statement confirming account opening or the account number, bank name, and MFO code separately;
- Email and phone number for communications with clients and partners;
- Name of the power station, including those that are under construction or in the start-up phase;
- Location of the power station (or power generating installations);
- Information about the equipment used for generating electricity;
- Copies of documents confirming the right to use this equipment;
- Copies of technical passports;
- A schematic of how the power station connects to the electrical grid, including details of the electricity metering devices.
The license is issued indefinitely as an electronic record in the registry. However, upon the client's request, we can obtain paper copies of the resolution granting the license.
Please note: Documents for obtaining an electricity production license must be submitted in electronic form. Therefore, the company must possess an electronic digital signature (EDS), which is also necessary for participating in the electricity market. While any EDS is suitable for obtaining the license, there is a recommended list for market participation. We always advise our clients to secure an electronic digital signature that will be useful for future operations.
Requirements for Obtaining an Electricity Production License
To successfully obtain an electricity production license, applicants must fulfill several key criteria:
- Possession or rightful use of premises and equipment required for the operation;
- Availability of a technical passport for the power-generating equipment (or other documents verifying technical characteristics);
- A detailed schematic of the power station's connection to the electrical grid, indicating the locations of electricity metering devices.
During the preparation to acquire an electricity production license, our team initially assesses the applicant's compliance with the licensing body’s requirements and offers guidance if there are discrepancies.
Answers to frequently asked questions
Is it necessary to create a website to obtain an electricity production license?
No, it is not required. However, a website becomes necessary after obtaining the license for conducting activities related to electricity production.
When can one expect a decision on a license application?
Within 10 working days following the submission of all required documents. However, there have been instances where decisions were made by the seventh day.
What capacity must a power station have to qualify for an electricity production license?
Licensing for electricity production is required if the power station has a capacity of 5 MW or more. However, if you plan to sell electricity generated from alternative energy sources on the electricity market, a license is necessary regardless of the power station's capacity.
What types of electricity production sources are eligible for this license?
The license can be obtained for any legally permissible electricity generation sources in Ukraine, provided there is proper documentation (purchase or lease agreements, technical passports, etc.): solar panels, wind turbines, and others.
Updating an Electricity Production License
Even though the license for producing electricity is granted indefinitely, the licensee (the company holding the license) must inform the licensing body of any changes in data no later than one month after these changes occur. This includes changes like a name or location change, or acquiring new power-generating equipment.
We assist with updating records with the licensing authority. You can reach out to us, and after we discuss and agree on the timelines, costs, and service provision process, we will carry out the required updates.
