Ukraine (IPS) Negative Electricity Prices and Spikes, 2026

Hours are time weighted, so 15 minute and 60 minute intervals count alike. Share of hours divides by 24 times the days with data, so it is approximate on clock change days. A streak is consecutive local days each with at least one interval below zero, not a continuous run of hours.

No price below zero appears anywhere in the 400 days held for Ukraine (IPS); the lowest is UAH 10.00/MWh. We have not checked whether market rules for this zone set a floor at zero.

The lowest and highest prices are single market intervals of 15 or 60 minutes, not daily averages. The delivery day is the local day the interval belongs to.

Prices are day-ahead, in UAH per MWh. A negative price means sellers pay to deliver electricity in that interval, usually when wind and solar output is high and demand is low; the explanation and the ranking of all zones are on the main page.
