“Governments and RES investors should consolidate their efforts in finding out a profitable solution not only to resolve the current crisis but also to promote the further Renewable Energy development,” Mr. Andriy Konechenkov, the Chairman of the UWEA Board
On February 8, 2021, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky launched a large public dialogue to mark the 30th Anniversary of Ukraine's independence, which would consist of 30 large-scale weekly forums on vital issues for the country. On 16 February 2021, All-Ukrainian Forum “Ukraine 30. Payment”. was dedicated to the issues related to utility tariffs and energy independence of Ukraine.
The Forum was attended by representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine; People's Deputies of Ukraine and heads of relevant Committees of the Verkhovna Rada; representatives of international organizations, including the World Bank, public figures and experts in the energy field, including Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board.
Speaking at the session “Renewable energy: the future industry” of All-Ukrainian forum “Ukraine 30. Payment”, Andriy Konechenkov presented the current state of RES development in Ukraine and highlighted future industry trends and tendencies: “In recent years, national Renewable Energy sector faced a number of artificially created barriers and challenges. If we analyze the ratio between the actual numbers of installed RES capacity and the goals set by the National Renewable Energy Action Plan by 2020, we see that with 6,872.6 MW of installed capacity (against the planned 2,300 MW) only the solar power sector has achieved the goals envisaged by the National Action Plan. Ukraine has exceeded the assigned plan for solar capacity installation by a factor of 3! Given this imbalance and other factors that scale up existing and create new market challenges, Governments and RES investors should consolidate their efforts and find a profitable solution not only to resolve the current crisis but also to promote the further growth of renewables in Ukraine,” Mr. Andriy Konechenkov said.
