METHODICAL APPROACHES TO THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ELECTRICITY COST FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Abstract
In this paper the methodical approaches to the assessment of the electricity cost from renewable energy sources under tradable green certificates system were developed. The proposed approaches are based on the experience of developed countries and technical and economic features of the renewable energy projects realization in Ukraine. The presented methodical approaches are designed to ensure the formation of the "green" electricity price, which will take into account the actual cost of its generation, will provide an adequate level of investment projects profitability and will create equal conditions for the development of various renewable energy technologies. The algorithms for calculation of electricity cost from renewable energy sources by the Levelized Cost of Electricity method, and its price by the cost- plus pricing method, can be used outside tradable green certificates system, in particular under the current at this stage of the support scheme for renewable energy promotion in Ukraine.
