II.) RENEWABLE ENERGY
Fiscal Incentives Available in Ukraine for Energy Efficiency and Alternative Energy:
Asters Law Firm, by Yaroslav Petrov and Kostya Solyar, May 23, 2011
http://www.asterslaw.com/upload/iblock/425/yap_116.pdf
Sustainable energy use has a significant place in Ukraine's energy policy. The Energy Strategy to 2030 and the Economic Reform Program for 2010 to 2014 both identify switching to alternative energy sources and achieving greater energy efficiency as key priorities. The recently adopted Tax Code provides significant incentives for companies and transactions in these areas. The code provides that 80% of an eligible company's profit from sales of its own goods within the Ukrainian customs territory is exempt from charged at 23% corporate profit tax, provided that the goods are on a list approved by the government. The code also exempts 50% of all profits derived from the implementation of measures and projects relating to energy efficiency. These incentives are effective for five years from the first year in which a profit is made from the manufacturing processes related to energy efficiency. In addition, a general tax exemption to January 1 2020 will apply to biofuel producers' profits from sales of such fuel and profits from the generation of electrical and heat energy with the help of biofuels. Energy companies are exempt from corporate profit tax on the sale of electricity from renewable energy sources for 10 years from January 1 2011. Generators of electricity from renewable sources enjoy a 75% discount on land tax. In addition, imports of a variety of energy efficiency and renewable goods are generally exempt from charged at 20% Value Added Tax.

Ukraine Launches Equipment Tax Waivers for Biofuels:
Biofuels Digest, by Meghan Sapp, June 22, 2011
http://biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2011/06/22/ukraine-launches-equipment-tax-waivers-for-biofuels
Ukraine's government has introduced tax exemptions for the import of equipment used for construction or renovation of biofuel production facilities; equipment used for production or modernization of technical equipment and vehicles facilitating the use of biofuels; and biofuel-fed technical equipment and vehicles (including agricultural automotive machinery). The tax exemptions include import duty as well as value added tax (VAT).

State Guarantee for Alternative Energy Green Tariff:
Asters Law Firm, by Yaroslav Petrov, June 27, 2011
http://www.asterslaw.com/upload/iblock/302/yap_118.pdf
On June 3, Ukraine's Rada approved changes to the Law on Electrical Energy that relate to state guarantees to incentivize the use of alternative energy sources. The legislative changes await presidential approval. In 2009 Ukraine introduced a 'green tariff' for electricity produced from alternative energy sources. The tariff is effective until 2030 and is one of the highest in Europe. It not only sets a high rate, but also imposes a statutory obligation on the wholesale electricity market to buy all alternatively sourced electricity that is not sold to retail customers. One of the government's priorities in the sector is to reform the Ukrainian electricity market to exclude the wholesale market from electricity transactions between generators and distributors, thereby enabling parties to enter into power supply transactions directly. However, the end result of the electricity reform - the liquidation of the wholesale market - may be unattractive to companies that are willing to operate under the green tariff, as at present the wholesale market provides the only mechanism for the state to purchase alternative energy on this green tariff basis. In order to preserve the implementation of the tariff, the law declares that the state's obligation to purchase alternative energy at green tariff rates will survive the reform. However, if the wholesale energy market is liquidated, it is unclear how the green tariff will be implemented.

Hydrofracking for Ukraine's Shale Gas Stirs Environmental Worries:
Kyiv Post, by Oksana Polhuy, June 9, 2011
http://www.kyivpost.com/news/business/business-sense/detail/106419
Ukraine, according to different estimates, has two to 30 trillion cubic meters of shale gas. The latter amount would be enough to satisfy the demand for gas in Ukraine for 600 years. Accordingly, international oil and gas majors Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobil and TNK-BP have shown interest in exploring shale gas in western Ukraine and coal bed methane in Donetsk Oblast using hydraulic fracturing – or hydrofracking technology. However, the technology raises serious environmental concerns, including pollution of water sources, such as rivers and underground aquifers. Fractures made by the blasting of the mixture can connect to natural fractures that can go up to the surface or into the groundwater, potentially contaminating water or air with gas, which can escape via these routes. Another possible reason for contamination is that the pressure of injecting the mixture can be so high that the cement casing breaks, allowing the gas to escape through cracks. The waste water, which could contain chemicals, is a further problem. It is stored in a pit until it is moved to a sewage water treatment facility, but if it stays outside for a long time, it can evaporate or leak into the environment if heavy rain floods the pit. Furthermore, most of the chemical mixture remains underground, posing unknown risks to the environment and people’s health. To date, the Ukrainian government has made little effort to establish strict regulations for hydrofracking in order to protect the Ukrainian environment and people from possible negative consequences.

Shale Gas Could Help Ukraine Meet Energy Needs By 2020:
NASDAQ/Dow Jones, June 23, 2011

Ukraine's potentially vast supplies of unconventional natural gas could close the strategically located country's energy supply gap by 2020, though this will only be achieved if authorities speed up and rationalize the regulatory process to allow development and production work to begin. "It is possible to close the gap between production today and supply in the future by 2020, 2023. But we need to follow through on going in and drilling the wells, going into production," said Didier Casimiro, the chief executive of TNK-BP Ltd.'s Ukraine division. TNK-BP has said it is targeting licenses in the country and that it may spend $50 million on exploration in Ukraine over the next few years. However, Casimiro said that the company was still waiting for issues around the licensing process to be resolved.

TNK-BP to Invest $1.8 Billion in Ukraine Shale Gas:
MarketWatch, by Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen, June 24, 2011
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/tnk-bp-to-invest-18-bln-in-ukraine-shale-gas-2011-06-24
BP PLC's Russian joint venture TNK-BP Ltd. plans to invest $1.8 billion in unconventional gas projects in Ukraine over the next six to seven years. Investing $1.8 billion into six Ukrainian shale deposits until 2017 or 2018 will allow TNK-BP to produce up to 3 billion cubic meters of gas a year, with initial production lower than that. Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region may hold considerable shale deposits, an unconventional source of natural gas produced by a method known as hydraulic fracturing. TNK-BP, a joint venture between U.K. oil major BP and a group of Soviet-born billionaire investors, is targeting six licenses containing unconventional tight gas in Ukraine.

Ukraine's credit ratings may be raised if the government increases utility prices to meet the International Monetary Fund's demands, Citigroup Inc. said in an e-mailed report to clients. Increasing utility bills, including natural-gas prices for consumers, is the only obstacle delaying the third payment of the country’s $15.6 billion bailout from the Washington-based IMF. The IMF has withheld payments to Ukraine since March because of delays in approving steps to rein in the budget deficit, which swelled to 7.9 percent of gross domestic product last year. “A hike in gas tariffs could unlock IMF financing and trigger a rating upgrade,” the report said.
