This article studies the implications of the Fourth Energy Package and relevant EU Directives for households and explores their potential benefits in Ukraine. Understanding the effects of energy policies on the residential sector is crucial for promoting sustainability amidst global energy and climate challenges. Methods of descriptive legal studies and investment analysis are used to examine the primary EU legislation on renewable energy communities and citizens’ groups, focusing on their applicability to homes and renewable energy cooperatives. The analysis of Ukraine’s experiences with the adoption of green power and incentives have revealed challenges for small solar home installations operating without the feed-in tariff. Introducing net-billing makes projects unfeasible without such a tariff, and even selling electricity through aggregators on the intraday market does not help. Consequently, the payback period for small installations with batteries becomes unreasonably long (exceeding twenty-five years), while larger facilities have shorter payback terms (fifteen to seventeen years). These findings highlight the need for careful consideration of household green-power policies. Implementing the Fourth Energy Package in Ukraine requires measures to address the financial feasibility of small solar installations, particularly those lacking feed-in tariff support. Expanding legislative provisions to include consumers of green power, especially those in multi-apartment buildings, can enhance their participation in the electricity producers’ market. Moreover, raising household electricity prices may be necessary to support sustainable energy practices. Overall, this study underscores the importance of evidence-based policymaking for successful power transitions in homes and the broader energy sector.

Niniejszy artykuł analizuje konsekwencje Czwartego Pakietu Energetycznego i odpowiednich dyrektyw UE dla gospodarstw domowych oraz bada ich potencjalne korzyści na Ukrainie. Zrozumienie wpływu polityki energetycznej na sektor mieszkaniowy ma kluczowe znaczenie dla promowania zrównoważonego rozwoju w obliczu globalnych wyzwań energetycznych i klimatycznych. Metody opisowych badań prawnych i analizy inwestycji zostały wykorzystane do zbadania pierwotnego prawodawstwa UE dotyczącego odnawialnych źródeł energii dla społeczności i lokalnych grup konsumenckich, koncentrując się na ich zastosowaniu do gospodarstw domowych i spółdzielni energii odnawialnej. Analiza ukraińskich doświadczeń związanych z przyjęciem zielonej energii i ulg ujawniła wyzwania dla małych domowych instalacji słonecznych działających bez taryfy gwarantowanej. Wprowadzenie rozliczeń netto czyni projekty niewykonalnymi bez takiej taryfy, a nawet sprzedaż energii elektrycznej za pośrednictwem agregatorów na rynku dnia bieżącego nie pomaga. W rezultacie okres zwrotu dla małych instalacji z akumulatorami staje się zbyt długi (przekracza dwadzieścia pięć lat), podczas gdy większe instalacje mają krótsze okresy zwrotu (od piętnastu do siedemnastu lat). Wyniki te podkreślają potrzebę starannego rozważenia polityki w zakresie zielonej energii dla gospodarstw domowych. Wdrożenie Czwartego Pakietu Energetycznego na Ukrainie wymaga podjęcia działań mających na celu zapewnienie efektywności finansowej małych instalacji solarnych, w szczególności tych, które nie otrzymują wsparcia w postaci taryf gwarantowanych. Rozszerzenie przepisów prawnych w celu uwzględnienia konsumentów zielonej energii, zwłaszcza tych w budynkach wielorodzinnych, może zwiększyć ich udział w rynku producentów energii elektrycznej. Co więcej, podniesienie cen energii elektrycznej dla gospodarstw domowych może być konieczne do wspierania zrównoważonych praktyk energetycznych. Ogólnie rzecz biorąc, niniejsze badanie podkreśla znaczenie kształtowania polityki opartej na dowodach dla udanej transformacji energetycznej w domach i szerszym sektorze energetycznym.
