The Potential of Ukraine in Renewable Energy

Still the State of Ukraine is highly depending on energy imports from other countries. Power generation is domitated by coal and nuclear and renewables are playing only a minor role in the whole energy mix of the country. Nevertheless the potential of Renewables in Ukraine is very high and could make the country totally independend from energy imports and traditional energy sources within one decade. The Kiew Institute of Renewable Energy estimates the potential of altnerative energy to 81 million tonnes oil equivalent annually. This corresponds to 520 billion kwh electricity and is equivalent to 2.5 times of generated electricity by Ukraine in 2011. The succesful windfarm projects of Dutch led consortium DETK are showcasing that renewable energy in Ukraine are financially viable with a guranteed return of investment.

The Expert Roundtables of the German-Ukrainian Energy Symposium brings together representatives from industry, governments, financial and research institutions from Ukraine and Germany to give an overview about the potential of Renewables in Ukraine and a future energy strategy. Participation is free of charge.
