For two days - January 27-28, 2021 Ukraine hosted the 4th Edition of the RENPOWER Ukraine Investors Forum organised by Euroconvention Global in partnership with Ukraine leading Renewable Energy Associations including the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association. Renpower is one of the largest global B2B platforms in the world with editions in more that 50 countries and is one of the best-established and recognized renewable energy forums in Ukraine in the last years.
Speakers and participants discussed the expectations from the first auctions for RES generation planned in Ukraine for 2021, technological opportunities for Ukraine under the EU Green Deal, future of “green” hydrogen and energy storage development in Ukraine. Much attention was paid to issues related to the financial crisis in the renewable energy sector and possible solutions to it.
The list of key speakers included Yaroslav Demchenkov/ Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine in charge of EU integration; Liudmyla Buimister, Member of the Parliament of Ukraine; Konstyantyn Petrykovets, Director of the State Enterprise “Guaranteed Buyer”; Olga Babiy, Member of the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission of Ukraine; Konstyantyn Gura, Acting Head of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine; Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of Board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association; heads of industry associations, representatives of NPC Ukrenergo, leading RES companies and international financial institutions.
In his presentation at the second session of the forum “Shaping up further the Ukrainian electricity market across 2021- Reforms and prospects” Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board noted: “The success of further renewable energy development depends directly on Government’s strategic policy. One of the possible solutions of problem related to the “green” tariff mechanism, could be an auctions with clear quotas for the next 5-10 years. The paradox of our time is that the Government, on the one hand, declares the necessity of the “green” energy transition but on the other hand, Ukraine still has no RoadMap for RES development”.
