0117 April 2019 Lawyer of State Energy Efficiency, Deputy Chairman of the Bureau of the Renewable Energy Expert Group of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Konstantin Gura and Deputy Chairman of the Bureau of the Energy Efficiency Expert Group of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Head of the National Center for Attraction of Green Investments Bogdan Radchenko. The lecture was devoted to the topics of "green" energy and "green" tariff. The topic of energy efficiency and renewable energy is an urgent and promising one for Ukraine. Konstantin Gura noted that the "green" tariff is a mechanism designed to encourage the population to generate electricity from alternative energy sources. “It is very important that the legislation meets the requirements of the time. Ukraine should move to the auction system: a more sustainable energy system, it is also important to use private subsidies, ”said Konstantin Gura. That is why at the end of 2018 the Verkhovna Rada adopted in the first reading the draft law No. 8449-d on the new system of support for renewable energy (RES). According to him, from 2020 it is planned to reduce the "green" tariff for solar power plants (SES) by 25%, for wind power plants (WPP) - by 10%. This significantly reduces the cost of "green" energy for Ukrainian, but this is not the main thing in the document. The main innovation - the transition from the "green" tariff to the auctions for the supply of energy from renewable energy sources. Auctions will determine the winner by a single criterion - the lowest price. An analysis of world experience in conducting auctions for the supply of energy from renewable energy sources during 2010-2018 shows a decrease in prices by more than five times. It is necessary to ensure the further development of renewable energy, but at the same time reduce the growth of the financial burden on the final price. |
