The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine considers it expedient to achieve the target indicators for the development of renewable energy in Ukraine primarily through the use of the unrealized potential of wind and bioenergy, Deputy Energy Minister Yuriy Boiko said during the conference on transition from the feed-in tariff to market conditions, organized by the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association.
According to Boiko, at the beginning of 2021, the total installed capacity of electricity producers from renewable sources (RES) in Ukraine was 8.4 GW, of which the share of wind power plants (WPP) accounted for only 1.2 GW. At the same time, wind farms in 2020 produced only 2 times less electricity than solar power plants (SPP), despite the much more significant advantage of the latter in the installed capacity.
