Accelerating the green energy transition
+380 (66) 508-07-64Solar energy in Ukraine is developing rapidly: the total installed capacity of commissioned solar power plants in 2017 exceeded 250 MW. For incomplete 2018, power has already more than doubled. But for long-term planning, investors need clear and stable rules of the game. Eight bills regulating the transition to auctions are now registered in parliament. However, the formation of a consolidated position on them is delayed. There is a discussion about the mechanisms for the implementation of auctions. For market participants, it is important that this mechanism should be fair for everyone and not “be discharged for several major players”. On legislative changes and on the features of the functioning of the solar energy market, Energoforma spoke with Dmytro Lukomskyi, CEO of Avenston.

What does solar energy expect in 2019?
According to the analysis of previous reports on the results of 2018, solar energy has demonstrated itself in the best way among all types of RES, lending its development potential to the current year.
Cooperative Solar Farms
People interested in harvesting the sun’s energy, can now participate in a unique program – the Sol Partners Cooperative Solar Farm. One of the major advantages of the program is that United Power will maintain the solar farm – the customer only pays for the cost of the panel. It is anticipated that one 210 watt panel will produce about a 3% return on its investment or approximately $32 per year in electricity credits.
Hydrogen and RES: global applying practices
We already know a lot about renewable energy sources, but in recent years the topic of hydrogen has been raised more and more often. What is the role of the light chemical element of the Mendeleev periodic table in the renewable energy generation system? How do hydrogen production processes take place, and what are the global practices for its use?
Floating Solar Panels Market
Solar power is one of the fastest growing renewable energy technology owing to the ease in system installation as well as abundant sunlight across the globe. Advantages related to the installation of floating panels as compared to conventional plants are expected to drive growth.
