Renewable Energy resources: Until recently the main renewable energy source was electricity in hydroelectric -Hydroelectric provided 98% of the total energy contribution of the cleanest sources

Regulative body: At the end of 2010 the Ukrainian government has set the production of electricity from renewable sources as a national project, the intention of producing 2,000 mega - watts clean electricity within four years. The main objective is the development of energy which renews power supply specifically for them in the vast remote areas. Conservation in those areas will turn them into tourist attractions, and produce additional income source country.

Renewable Energy legislation:

State goal: Ukrainian government's ambition is to reduce energy imports 30 percent of the state using renewable electricity production in the coming years already. The new power station planned for - by the Austrian team, designed to serve 5000homes - a father in the village Rodnicova and Environment (Crimea region), but the Ukrainian government's plans are far beyond the little station

PV Feed-In-Tariff current: Roof installation with the capacity under 100 kW- Euro 0.426,

Roof installation with over 100 kW- Euro 0.445;  ground installation - Euro 0.465.

PV Tax incentives:

PV Market: Ukraine has recently completed construction of the first solar power station in an effort to develop more green power system, more independent and reduce dependence on Russian gas.  It is expected to complete  - this month - of another solar power station in the country providing electricity to 20,000 customers.

Last two years from the solar market in the country occur after the Ukrainian government approved a system of green rates (August 2009) to 20 years. As part of the green tariff, solar system installers are undertaking Grid connection, and the rate itself is divided into smaller projects than 100 kW, who receive a rate o fabout 32 cents per kW, and photovoltaic projects - and the big rays of kW who receive approximately 34 watts cents per kW.

SBY penetration:

So far those who wish to enter our market, there are only two ways:

1) Build your own projects or joint projects with local companies, starting with zero           stage.
2) Buy a ready-made projects that have received the "green" tariff, but they are    few                and they are not for sale.
