“Green” tariff rate reduction for the ongoing RE projects will stop investments in the national wind power industry and its further development”, stressed Alexander Dombrovski, MP, head of the Inter-fractional deputy association “For the energy independence of Ukraine“, advisor to the President of Ukraine, speaking at the press conference “Ukraine: European Integration and Renewable Energy. Challenges and Perspectives” that took place on October 15, 2014 in UNIAN.
“It is crucial that in Ukraine, like in other countries, we have rules of the games that nobody could change. There are rules for domestic and foreign investors, and if they have already started investing under these rules of the game, then we have no right to change them”, said he. According to Mr. Dombrovski, it’s possible to decrease “green” tariff rate only for new projects, since investors from the very beginning would know the real rate of return on their investment. At the same time it should be done by amending the relevant law.
Andriy Konechenkov, Head of the Board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association, noted that renewable energy would increase energy independence of Ukraine: “Since it runs on the energy of wind, sun and water, it does not require the purchase of exhaustible fossil fuels. “All the contemporary wars arise because of energy resources. When we are talking about "the sun” and “the wind," we are talking about "the peace", - said Konechenkov, noting that the development of the wind power industry means strengthening energy security and energy independence of the country.
Alexander Dombrovski also pointed out that Renewable Energy development was Ukraine's commitments to the European Energy Community, which were also listed in the Association Agreement with the EU”.
