Redcliffe Partners and Clifford Chance were hosting a high-profile gathering of green energy professionals, policy-makers, institutional investors and commercial banks to encourage dialogue between economies on advancing the opportunities for financing renewable energy projects in Ukraine. There were representatives of State Energy on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine, National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission, NEC Ukrenergo, EBRD, Ukrgasbank and other companies and financial organizations among mentioned speakers of the event.
Mr Lukomskyi told about current situation on Ukrainian RE market, gave own outlook for trends and current risks for potential investors as well as some ideas how to move forward and to develop the industry. The speech of our CEO attracted the attention of the audience and served as the beginning for a fruitful discussion on the sidelines of this event.
Today renewable energy in Ukraine is flourishing, and its rapid involvement is attracting ever-increasing attention from investors and energy companies from around the world. Currently, Ukraine is considered among the top European countries most suitable for producing electricity from alternative energy sources, having significant potential for green energy generation due to its climate, availability of land and a range of state support mechanisms and incentives.
Solar forecasting in Ukraine
Weather systems result in strong variability in the available solar radiation across the day. This means that solar plant power output is impacted, with strong changes in energy generation across the day. As Ukraine adds more solar energy to its electricity grid, it is becoming important to predict these changes in energy generation from hours to days ahead.
East-West Solar Power Plants
This article provides a detailed analysis of the ways in which solar panels in a PV system can be oriented simultaneously to the east and west, including the identification of their advantages and characteristics.
Non-traditional RES: reality or fiction?
The overall global trend today is towards environmental awareness, and renewable energy is under scrutiny. AVENSTON represents the review of non-traditional RES: lightning energy, cryogenic energy, gravitational energy and mirror mosaic in the Mojave Desert as concentrated-solar technology.
Bioenergy: Past, Present and Future
Bioenergy plays an important role in many low carbon development scenarios and can be particularly useful in long haul transport where alternative energy sources are not available. The expanded role of bioenergy is still under consideration, and sometimes disputes over the sustainability of production and use.
