Ukraine aims to keep pace with the times, relying on the development of alternative energy. Today, its share in the total energy balance of the country is approaching 2%. Of course, this is not comparable with the situation in the countries of Europe, where by 2050 they strive to completely switch to "green" energy. But the pace of development of the national "green" energy market cannot but rejoice. The result of the commissioning of alternative power plants for the three months of this year is close to the total total value of the entire previous one.
In addition, plans to build new renewable energy facilities are quite ambitious. The Sivash project worth more than $ 400 million, which was agreed in Davos, the construction of a large solar power plant in the Chernobyl exclusion zone and other smaller projects.
Managing partner UDP Renewables Serhiy Yevtushenko is sure that renewable energy is no longer an alternative, but an irreversible global trend, so Ukraine should create favorable conditions for its development and distribution as soon as possible.
The base for the development of "green" energy in Ukraine is excellent - the geographical and climatic location of our country is quite favorable, we have good indicators of wind and solar radiation, fertile soils. Sources of financing for the "green" direction in the energy sector and the host's state regulation remain important.
Investors are interested in Ukraine, even taking into account the difficult geopolitical situation, said power engineer Sergei Yevtushenko. In addition, one should not discount medium and small businesses, which are increasingly appearing on the market of alternative energy resources. “The backbone of any healthy economy is small and medium-sized businesses. The higher its contribution to the country's GDP, the more stable its economy, ”says the managing partner of UDP Renewables.
Now the high "green" tariff is the main stimulating mechanism in alternative energy. Over time, due to the increase in facilities generating "green" energy, and the forthcoming reform, its rate will decrease, but until 2030 it is enshrined in law.
The danger for the development of national "green" energy can be fraught with government regulation. Clear and transparent rules of the game without a bureaucratic component will attract new investors in alternative energy and help to achieve the planned 25% of its participation in the total energy boiler by 2030.
