"Ukraine today has a great potential for projects in the sectors of wind and solar energy, small hydropower plants, using of biomass resources and waste. Confirmation of promising Ukrainian renewable energy is not only a great interest in this segment of the foreign companies, but also taken practical steps by Ukrainian investors "- says Vitaliy Daviy, Head of the Organizing Committee of the Forum, President of Association of alternative fuels and energy market participants of Ukraine (APEU).

According to Fuel Alternative LLC, in particular, in 2011 the first major private wind farm in Ukraine is expected to start its work. There are also more than a dozen wind farms in Ukraine at the implementation stage now.
At the same time, today Ukrainian manufacturers of small wind generators are forming the niche of wind generating equipment on the European market of alternative energy. Meanwhile the domestic market of small wind generators is still almost empty and has large perspectives for its growth.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian market of photovoltaic and solar collectors Ukraine has impressive prospects. Experts predict that it will double till 2012, due, firstly, the high "green" tariff (currently it is near ˆ60 cent (!!!) with VAT), and secondly, the growing interest in the segment of the world's leading companies in the field of solar energy. The latter research has shown a growing interest in the market of Eastern Europe.

The growing interest of investors is to the small hydropower Ukraine. There are companies which successfully work using “green” tariff. However, there are a number of objects that need to be reconstructed in this industry, and after minor investments can be the basis of a stable income.

Successful practice of obtaining a "green tariff" appeared in a segment of combustion of solid biofuel and biogas production in Ukraine.

"Ukrainian government guarantees high level of "green" tariff until 2030. Against the backdrop of the overall low investment attractiveness of Ukraine this factor makes the domestic industry of renewable energy an attractive investment today", - Mr. Daviy says.
