Solar energy evolution
Solar 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.
Renewable energies — invest and trade in Ukraine
Avenston analyzes some perspectives and plans for cooperation within alternative energy sectors of Ukraine for foreign companies and mentions main challenges that could be faced while cooperating with Ukrainian colleagues during PV projects development.
Industrial Solar PV-Diesel Hybrid Systems
Integrating photovoltaics into existing diesel power systems enables reductions in fuel costs and guarantees an efficient electricity supply.
Technology and operating principles of heat generators for alternative fuels
Existing technologies of hard biopropellant incineration are briefly analyzed in this article. These technologies are used in thermal energy generation systems on renewable fuel types from domestic and foreign producers.
Global flows of renewable energy investments
Reducing carbon emissions and limiting global warming this way require an increase in global renewable energy investments. How much does it invest in this sector and how are these finances distributed throughout the world? What are the prospects of investing in renewable energy sources in Ukraine?
