The paper presents an analysis of the sustainable development of the electricity generation sources in the National Power System (NPS). The following criteria to be met by sustainable power systems have been framed: (1) secure work of the NPS, (2) low cost of electric energy generation, (3) optimum utilization of the primary energy, and (4) environment protection (minimalizing CO2 emission for electric energy generation) as a result of the Climate Agreement and the decision of the European Council. The paper elaborates on the power balance of centrally dispatched power generation units (CDPGU) which is required for the secure work of the NPS. 19 perspective electricity generation technologies have been defined. They are divided into the following three groups of the generation sources in the NPS: the system power plants, large and medium combined heat and power (CHP) plants , and small power plants and CHP plants (distributed sources). The quantities to characterize the energy effectiveness and CO2 emission of the energy analyzed generation technologies have been determined. The unit electricity generation costs, discounted for 2016, which cover the cost of the CO2 emission allowance have been determined for particular technologies. The roadmap of the sustainable development of the generation sources in NPS between 2020 and 2035 has been elaborated. The results of the calculations and analyses are presented in tables and on figures.
