In Ukraine, they offered to pay for electricity savings during peak hours. The Ukrainian energy regulator approved a draft change that will allow consumers to receive rewards for transferring the operation of electrical appliances and production processes to lower charging hours. This was reported by the National Energy and Services Regulatory Committee.
⠀.
The payments will depend on fulfilling the terms of the agreement with a special market participant - the aggregator. He will unite the consumers and coordinate changes in the schedule or the scope of electricity consumption.
⠀.
No need to change power supply. To participate, you will need to have an electricity supply agreement and enter into a separate agreement with the aggregator.
⠀.
Factories will be able to move part of their production to less busy hours, and households will be able to change the operating hours of household appliances. According to the regulator, this will help reduce the peak load on the power system.
⠀.
The draft will be published for comments and open discussion. The amount of the compensation is not specified in the committee's notice.
