China is striking the world’s mega-solar park

0

Gonghe Solar Park covers an area of ​​about 298 meters square. Experts have calculated that the whole park is five times larger than Manhattan. The uniqueness of the park is that 42 solar energy companies in China have created a single project. The power of the solar park is about 3500 megawatts. Gonghe Solar Park can provide 2.5 million households in remote areas. The new solar park is target at provincial areas located in the northern and western parts of China. These remote provinces make up almost a third of the state territory and are in extreme need of permanent energy supply.

The solar park also includes a large research base of international scale. The staff of the base are collecting and analyzing information on the work of various models of solar panels that have been take from around the world. The analytical work is carry out with the help of the Fraunhofer Institute of Solar Energy Systems, which has the authority in the world scientific community.

According to the representatives of the new solar park, the results of research will increase the efficiency of panels to the maximum possible mark and make the process of generating energy less costly from a financial point of view.

The project’s organizers emphasize that the solar park is capable of benefiting not only China, but the entire civilized world as a positive example of a global project for other states.

Gonghe Solar Park uses 21 kinds of inverter installations, 17 kinds of brackets, four types of energy storage devices, 15 innovative types of devices, and three dozen new connections in the form of a material base. These components make up 30 different system designs.

The Huanghe Hydropower Central Factory conducted a collection of 6.2 million solar polysilicon modules for the Gonghe Solar Park. The park was equipped with devices made in China, the United States and Germany. It is through this approach to the quality of equipment that one line does not require more than 15 workers.

For several years, China has been at the forefront of the solar power industry. The International Energy Agency last year said that China is focusing on one third of the world’s wind energy, a quarter of solar power. There are also 6 out of 10 largest solar module production companies and 4 out of 10 – for the manufacture of turbines for wind turbines.

One of the most striking examples of using alternative energy sources in remote areas is Qinghai Province. This region is capable of becoming the beginning of a revolutionary transition to the RES on a global scale.

In the province, there are 3 of the 7 largest rivers of the state: Yellow River, Lancang and Yangtze. Hydropower plants are install on all three Tsinghai water resources. In addition, the province actively generates electricity with solar energy. The Qinghai-Tibet Mountain Plate allows you to gather enough energy that the province has 11 percent of the total solar potential of China.

The Gobi Desert also plays an important role in generating electricity, as both its solar and wind parks find its place.

In May of this year, 86 percent of energy in Qinghai Province was obtain from REE. At the end of June, for 9 days the province and completely abandoned the energy from the general network. The region was provide with exclusively “green” energy for 216 hours.

Experts in the field of alternative energy from China note that the impetus of “green” energy submits the globe, country by country. China acts as an innovator to show the possible rapid increase in the share of renewable energy on the example of the provincial regions of the country.

What does solar installer do and what are the prospects in Ukraine?

0

Solar energy is developing rapidly in our country, and therefore, new professions associated with this field of activity are becoming increasingly popular.

What does solar installer do?

The Solar installer is engaged in the assembly, installation and support of the state of the systems of photovoltaic panels located on the roof of houses or other objects. Solar installers are still refer to as PV installers.

What is the working environment?

Preferably, the installation of solar panels is carry out under open-air conditions. Sometimes the solar installer works in an attic or slider condition properly install the panels. The PV installers go to the installation site.

What kind of education should a solar installer have?

It all depends on the employer’s requirements. Most PV installers have higher education, certified by appropriate diplomas. Such training can take place without interruption from the main work. Duration – about 12 months. Other institutes have an education program at college or college and for full-fledged activities in their niche. It is enough for them.

What is the pay?

It all depends entirely on the company in which the solar installer works. Specialists recommend that vacancies be considered, taking into account the quantitative indicators of solar radiation in the region where the workplace is provided. After all, the more the sun is in a particular area, the more people install solar panels. In addition, earnings solar installer directly depends on it.

On the territory of Ukraine, the leading position on insolation is Odessa Oblast. Technocenter «Energy of nature – green tariff» offers open vacancies for solar installers. You can contact the company’s representatives to discuss the details of the cooperation in the “Contacts” section (https://www.zeleniy-tarif.com).

What are the prospects of solar installers near Ukraine?

Experts in the field of alternative energy argue that the number of solar panels in the population will increase by 105% between 2016 and 2026. No other profession in our country implies such an expansion of the field of activity with such a short time. Qualified professionals at this time will be very in demand, and the payment of their labor will grow rapidly from year to year.

Three tips for installers PV:

  1. Expand your knowledge.

If you have already received a diploma in the specialty solar installer – this is not a reason to stop learning the information by profession. Alternative energy is developing at a very fast pace. The emergence of new technologies and advanced devices is sometimes difficult to trace. Be aware of the events and hold your hand on the pulse.

  1. Join the company.

Some experts try their hand in installing panels individually. If the Solar installer works in a team of professionals, then his chances of becoming a qualified specialist are only rising. Look for your place in a promising company, and your career will strive up.

  1. Find your field of activity.

Determine for yourself, what’s more important: to become a first-rate specialist or to work near your home? It happens that in a specialist’s place of residence it is difficult to find work due to the low amount of solar radiation in the region. Then it makes sense to find the most promising for this area and consider vacancies tied to it.

Ukrainian solar power plants: where the building of the most powerful objects is being built

0

SES on the territory of Ukraine actively replenishes the energy map of the country. And if earlier most of them were concentrated in the southern part of our state, now the geography of station expansion has expanded, and covers almost all areas.

According to the information published by representatives of the State Department of Energy Efficiency, over the past year the total capacity of the new solar power stations exceeded 210 megawatts. Such indicators are record-breaking for our country, since the year before the total power of the SES was about one hundred megawatts.

Power on the map of Ukraine

Over the past year, solar energy has received about $ 250 million in investment. This figure is twice as much as funding for 2016. If we make approximate calculations, we can conclude that one megawatts of new capacities cost investors $ 900,000.

Experts note that small and medium players are actively involved in the solar power sector of Ukraine at this stage. Firms that have just launched a new station or are in the process of building, often claim to power in the range of 5-10 megawatts. Foreign investors most often embody projects ranging from 10 megawatts.

For example, in the city of Nikopol, the SES cost almost 11 million euro. The project’s investor was a Canadian company within the framework of the Free Trade Agreement, which was signed with Ukraine a bit earlier. The construction of this facility gave the work of 25 local residents and enriched the local budget by two million hryvnias.

Foreign investors mainly invest in the construction of relatively small stations according to European standards. Global projects in the territory of Ukraine in the near future are not planned.

The largest representative of alternative energy in the market of our country remains CNBM Company from China. The director of the company last year stated that CNBM plans to issue ownership rights to ten SES. The total capacity of the facilities is 267 megawatts, and this is a third of the total power of the SES in our country. The second major player on the market is Rengy Development, owned by Yevlannik Sergey. Its solar park generates about 50 megawatts.

Ukrainian solar power plants by regions

The investor’s interest depends directly on the amount of the sun in a particular region. Secondary importance factors are the capacity of the power grids and the peculiarities of the policy of local authorities.

For example, last year the Ivano-Frankivsk region took second place in the growth of solar power plants. Although this region does not have a high level of solar radiation.

The largest Ukrainian solar power plants:

Priozernaya

Located in Kilia. It has a capacity of 54.8 megawatts. The construction work was completely completed in 2014.

«Limansky»

The location of the station is Rhine. Capacity – 43.4 megawatts. Completion of construction works is dated by 2013.

«Dunaiska»

The solar station has a capacity of 43.14 MW. Located in the city of Artsize. Finishing of construction works – 2012.

«Starokozache»

The total capacity of this station is 42, 95 megawatts. It was built in 2012 in the village of Starokozach.

«Bolgrad»

The station got the name from the city where it was built. Its power is 34, 14 megawatts. Construction work was completed in 2012.

«Voznesensk»

This solar station is located in the city of Voznesensk, Mykolaiv region. Capacity – 29.3 megawatts. The completion of construction works – 2013.

«Lazurne»

This solar power plant is ranked the largest in the smallest. Its power is 9.8 megawatts. Located in the city of Skadovsk. Construction work there was completed in 2013.

Odessa region is the record holder for the total capacity of 241 megawatts. The maximum number of projects was launched in 2012 and 2013.

Kherson region broke records on the scale of Ukraine over the past year. The total capacity was 69 megawatts. The total power of solar objects located in the area is 98 megawatts.

There is quite a lot of sun in the Vinnytsia region, although it is not located in the south. There were installed 128 megawatts of solar power. The maximum number of new SES came to 2016. Their power reached the mark of 52 megawatts.

Briefly about the taxation of the “green” tariff

0

If we talk about the levers of influence and stimulate the development of alternative energy, the “green” tariff is undoubtedly one of the most powerful. SES is the most popular on the territory of our country.

According to estimates, published by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, there are about three thousand domestic SES. Of these, two thousand stations were puting into operation during the past year.

Solar stations connected in 2017-2019 have a “green” tariff of 18 euro cents. This tariff applies exclusively to SES, whose capacity does not exceed 30 kilowatts.

Tariff directly depends on when the station was connected. NKREKP offers the following rates for the “green” tariff for domestic SES (the value is indicate without VAT):

– for those connected in the period from 01.04.13 to 31.12.14. – 876 UAH 85 kopecks per kilowatt-hour;

– from 01.01.15 to 30.06.15 – 788 UAH 64 kopecks;

– for commissioned from 01.07.15 to 31.12.15 – 489 UAH 77 kopecks;

– from 01.01.16 to 31.12.16 – 464 hryvnia 76 kopecks per kilowatt-hour;

– from 01.01.17 to 31.12.19 – 442 UAH 37 kopecks;

– from 01.01.20 to 31.12.24 – 397 UAH 61 kopecks;

– from 01.01.25 to 31.12.29 – 354 hryvnia 16 kopecks.

Where is the payment to the owner of the home SES for the electricity supplied to the grid transferred?

Every three months the “green” tariff is undergoing changes. This is directly relate to the euro. Electricity is pay by the energy supplier to pay for the generated solar power station. In our country, it is oblenergo.

From oblenergo, the property owner of the household even before signing up the station signs an agreement on the purchase and sale of energy. The fee for the kilowatts supplied to the general network is transfer to the personal account of the owner of the SES. The owner in this case selects the bank, and the account number is prescribe in the contract.

What amount is pay to the owner of the solar station?

The taxation of the “green” tariff involves the following fees:

– tax on income of individuals – 18 percent;

– military charge – 1, 5 percent.

In total, payment of taxes on the “green” tariff is 19.5 percent.

The payment of the tax does not fall on the shoulders of the owner of the solar station.

The energy supplier (in our case oblenergo) acts as a tax agent. That is, on the personal account of the owner of the household, which generates and sells electricity, the amount is already calculate with the deduction of the above tax.

Count everything in practice. Let us say you own a station with a capacity of 10 kilowatts. During the year, such a SES is capable of producing 11,000 kilowatt-hours of energy. A year the household used for personal needs 3 thousand kilowatt-hours.

The “green” tariff comes into play when it comes to excess energy generated. In our case, the surplus is 8,000 kilowatt-hours. We multiply this amount by 18 euro cents and get a total of 1440 euros of income for the year.

The taxation of the “green” tariff will reduce this amount by 19.5 percent. As a result, the owner of the solar station for the year at his own expense will receive 1159 euros and 2 euro cents. The accrued fee is convert into UAH and in this form is transfer to the bank account.

The Peppermill Reno in the United States uses the energy of the earth

0

Geothermal energy at this stage of development of alternative energy is the most progressive and environmentally friendly way of obtaining electricity and heat. The use of earth energy is very popular in the United States, New Zealand, Indonesia, Iceland and other countries. The energy of the earth was previous used rather actively for the purpose of power supply. However, more recently geothermal wells have been working for the benefit of hotels.

The Peppermill Reno Hotel is one of the largest facilities that has replaced the colossal energy consumption from the grid for the use of geothermal energy.

In the hotel business, the use of alternative energy sources is only gaining momentum. Transition from traditional sources of energy consumption to geothermal energy will allow hotels to become more environmentally friendly and to achieve stability in supplying their energy.

It should be note that some hotels consume more electricity than the completely residential quarter of the city. This is due to the need to constant have a large supply of hot water for guests and air-conditioning rooms. The scheme of using the hotel for geothermal energy requires considerable work of engineers and scientists.

Hotel Peppermill Reno has been in existence since 1971. The project for the transfer of the complex to the energy of the earth was start in 2009. Representatives of the hotel note that after the introduction of customer innovations has become significantly more. A geothermal well created by human hands is located near the hotel. It is interesting that the energy of the earth complex now completely covers its energy demands, without drawing energy from outside. It is worth noting that the total area of ​​the building (together with the spa and casino) is about 10 000 square meters.

The hotel has:

– 1623 rooms for guests;

– 800 luxury rooms;

– 10 restaurants;

– 15 pubs;

– night club.

Given such scale of the complex, it is even frightening to imagine how much electricity it consumed before switching to geothermal energy.

The use of geothermal wells in other hotels

An example for imitation in translating hotels into energy of the earth was Iceland. The country is very rich in thermal springs and thanks to them, it was able to significant reduce energy consumption in the country as a whole and in hotels in particular. It is interesting that one geothermal station in this country fully provides the energy to the capital – the city of Reykjavik. Further, the United States and the European countries intercepted the initiative of ecological energy supply.

Hotel Jumeirah Frankfurt also fully provides itself with energy of the land. The depth of the well is 50 meters and it is located right under the hotel.

The eco-friendly hotel “Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort”, in addition to power supply due to a geothermal well, provides living rooms from bamboo and straw. This room is ideal in terms of air circulation. In addition, guests are offer vegetables and fruits that were grow without the use of any chemicals. Located hotel on the island of Fiji.

Similar hotel projects are current being actively developed in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand and Kenya.

Even landscapes that are not too suitable for wells do not become a hindrance, as the latest technologies and problems of unsuccessful terrain can be solve on the way to environmental friendliness and significant cost reduction.

Another Life: Spiers New Technologies develops advanced processes for the conversion of batteries

0

The company Spiers New Technologies (SNT) little more years, its founder was concentrated in the formation of bargaining and technology for the purpose of re-use batteries before all other agents of significant business. Dirk Spiers is one with the most ardent people in the EV industry. As well as numerous businesspersons, he, similarly, has an accurate understanding of this, where his technique is extremely popular, and about this, as well as its distribution will immediately happen.

From the launch phase of Nissan LEAF and Chevy Volt in 2010, I heard a large number of conversations about probable programs for the purpose of secondary application of battery structures, if the period of the machine’s operation approached the end. The EV re-consumption batteries in the commercial additions guarantee the possibility for the purpose of high-performance energy-saving products to have a significantly lower cost. Approximately ten years on the way, the element-heteropolar accumulation remains only TWENTY-THIRD% with its initial strength. This has a huge role for the purpose of many non-automotive companies, thus, as well as preserving the energy acquired from the heavenly body and the marshmallow will require quite significant investments. Increasing battery life will be the latest turn in the events of another energy industry.

SNT is one with a few firms, which are swiftly carry away by reproofing batteries. One with the key fuller of the company is self-optimization of the use of batteries in cars and their further use after processing.

The president of the firm, Dirk Spears, and the head of the engineering department, Brian Schulz, shared their distinctive features with their own projects.

Dirk Spiers said that they refer to the reuse of batteries by running the current cycle with the aim of modern battery concepts, and they provide a range of “4 R” services in this relationship – recovery, renewal, renewal and secondary use.

This procedure begins with the resumption of the core, which according to the essence is the battery, the output of the structure of the machine. The firm can help auto manufacturers transport all the applied kernels without exception to a certain role and control them in an object of various security issues. In the present period, according to the speeches of the firm’s agents, the largest number of applications is from dealers who make sure changes in the batteries according to the expiration of the experiencing time.

If the electric battery was pulled from the car with-because of the difficulty with the pledge, the experts proceed from the consideration of the cause-effect relationships, in order to establish, rather than question, and then to correct it.

The next step will be selection among resumption, repair or secondary processing. The restoration consists in this, in order to renew the battery in accordance with its initial specification, the resumption is the procedure for restoring the functions of the devices in the most recent configuration, and the secondary application is this establishment of the capabilities of the second order of operation for the purpose of the battery.

In any case, it is very important to systemize the capital of cells, modules and packaging. This stage of the score and someone is very significant, because this provides a basis for establishing this, as well as more generally to apply batteries in the future.

When the battery has a significant wear, and almost no existence in it previously did not remain (or the customer testifies, that does not seek to change the battery according to this or that or factor), during processing it tears up to minimal probable elements and process them all without exception.

Representatives of the company call the range of their own services “Buffet”, in which case there is any consumer able to pick up directly these transformations, which he needs in personal mode. Some want to use the whole set according to the renewal of the batteries, and some quite the evaporation of the components.

Bryan Schultz: “I experience a full few subjects, including power, spiritual opposition and response. These characteristics can change very much due to this, as well as at first the electric battery was use. I examine to which concepts a specific set of battery designs is attached, and then we form a personal set of devices in order to find out whether one or another of these characteristics is significant for the purpose of secondary use. All without exception, this is dependent on the specific chemistry in the battery, and I work with different materials used, similar to the purpose of metal-metal hydride or heteropolar elements.

I often see batteries, which according to the old are excellent, due to the deduction of one difficulty, which required a whole error. Typically, this is a thermistor failure or a pin in the tire that gets rid of. Such an electric battery is consider a good candidate for the purpose of correction and is send after our intervention back to the car.

On the other hand, I also see a large number of batteries, which have cell degradation according to all trends. As a rule, this is quite strong batteries, but they are not very good, in order to find justification for a return to the car. As a rule, the factor is the reduction of capacity with-due to obsolescence. Imagine a battery for yourself that there were 80,000 miles on the road, and then, in that case, not in any way interconnected with the batteries, there is no effect, for example, on a thermistor. Since the car has such a decent motor race, all the cells in the battery are activate without exception. In the event that the mediator does the actions according to the change in the battery in the car, one, like the principle, replaces it with the most recent modification.

According to the accumulation of energy, not all fixed devices are equal. Mitigating the output signals from a huge cloudless battery is quite a difficult goal for the purpose of the battery with-because of this, to what extent the output can be swap instantly. For this reason, if you have a degraded electric battery, it is possible to use it again, for example, in a room, which will require a little energy. In a similar way, the electric battery will act as the additional feeding key in the period of interruptions.”

Expert’s note, what is very important in the current batteries are their property and safety. In a certain family, it is more appropriate to have ten NOS modules that constantly function as well as time, rather than possess a production with TEN, in which 8 function perfectly, and 2 are in no way suitable. This is another factor why the capital analysis of the battery is so significant, because the lover gives the opportunity to re-compose something in such a case together, the presence of circumstance, that all without exception elements in a labor stay. In this case, the battery life will increase many times.

Dirk Spiers: “I think it’s possible to say with full certainty that I’m more correctly understood with the rule of the second existence, rather than who else or in the trade sphere. We now have the most 80 000 square feet, timed to absolutely all of our progressive services for the renewal and consideration of batteries. I also create and test motionless concepts of energy conservation. “

Development and construction of a network of technology centers: a practical guide

0

Now the home solar and wind stations are becoming more popular. The state is trying in every way to contribute to this process, introducing a number of programs to support the population. The issue of installing SES in the yard is quite capacious and requires a clear algorithm of actions in order to have an understanding of what and what to do to get the maximum benefit as a result. The most important point of this issue is the search for a reliable and responsible partner.

What is needed to continue to make a significant profit from the sun or wind?

  1. The desire to develop their own business and the desire to become an independent entrepreneur.
  2. A rented plot of land or its own (does not matter where it is located – in the village or in the city).
  3. Buy a modular station. Options for the acquisition can be two – for their own funds or at the expense of credit. Banking institutions that support the state program to stimulate renewable energy in Ukraine provide favorable conditions for loans for the construction of these stations.

The loan conditions developed by banks provide a chance for absolutely all household owners to purchase and install a turnkey SES or heat pump on a turn-key basis. At the same time, the contribution relative to the full price for the project will be minimal.

 

4. Sign an agreement with the company “Energy of Nature – Green Tariff” and start making profits.

Opportunities that are revealed to the owner of the station:

– a significant reduction in payments for energy carriers;

– realization of surpluses in the general network for a “green” tariff (now for solar stations it is 18 euro cents per kilowatt-hour);

– the lack of dependence on the increase in the price of gas or electricity (in addition, the owner of the SES will no longer be affected by power outages or outages due to network failures);

– the opportunity to become a partner and get a chance:

  1. sell energy efficient solutions in your region;
  2. engage in the installation of SES and WEC under the auspices of the company “Energy of Nature – Green Tariff”;
  3. purchase equipment for the work of stations at dealer cost;
  4. to receive free training and raising the qualification level in the field of renewable energy.

– no risk of losing investment, because the wind and the sun never end and do not change the terms of cooperation.

At the moment, support for the state program for the development of renewable energy is provided by Oschadbank and Ukragazbank. Concerning favorable conditions for loans for the construction of SES from Oschadbank, we already wrote earlier.

It should be noted that the investments invested in the project are returned within 5-7 years, provided that you do not perform installation work for the SES and WEEE.
Payback depends on the number of connected stations.

The sales offices of the Technocenter “Energy of Nature – Green Tariff” are located at: Odessa region, the village of Novaya Dofinovka, Kurortnaya street, 53 (road map https://goo.gl/maps/3wqzQsuLNY92) .

Using drones to conduct research at photovoltaic stations

0

The state policy, which provides for the introduction of new programs to stimulate the development of renewable energy, provoked a real boom in the erection of the FES. The construction of photovoltaic stations is mainly carry out by the company EPC (in translation from English Engineering, procurement and construction – construction on a turnkey basis). Now popularity is gaining construction work performed independently by the customer or contractor. It is important for photovoltaic stations to ensure an appropriate level of service and quality service.

Television shooting of solar panels and related equipment is still the most common way of servicing. Thanks to such a survey, it is possible to create thermal images that will allow a specialist to draw a conclusion about the correct functioning of the FES.

In addition, thermal imagers can inspect photovoltaic stations. Such a study is do manually. The operator must bypass the entire station to inspect each solar panel with a fixing device. Further, analytical work is carry out on the images obtained and a conclusion is make in the form of a report that determines the satisfactory operation of the FES or the availability of any service cases.

Now, in our country, FES services are becoming increasingly in demand, even companies that only deal with service issues appear. However, some companies in tandem with customers, trying to save a small part of the money, eliminate the need for planned research. This leads to even greater costs when the FES goes out of order and requires serious repairs.

How to conduct research-using drone?

Drones are unmanned flying devices that can be control via Bluetooth. Now drones are attracted to the FES survey, since aero technical survey by these devices is safer compared to the survey in manual mode (the probability of electric shock is exclude). In addition, the drones take pictures in less time and show greater efficiency, and sometimes – save money, because a FES survey in this format is cheaper.

To compile a full report for a 1 MW photovoltaic station, the drone will need only 1 working day. The localization of deficiencies is reveal within a few minutes. A drone’s survey of a 200-megawatt station can do in 6 hours.

Unmanned devices can use:

– service-servicing companies (for the purpose of carrying out a planned survey, carrying out analytical work to find shortcomings in the work of the FES, when taking the station to work from the customer)

– general contractors at the time of the transfer of the object to the customer or acceptance of the work of the contractor;

– customers for the purpose of accepting the work of the contractor or when servicing.

To organize a survey using drones correctly and safely, the following recommendations should be take into account:

  1. First, you should check whether you could use drones in the established area. First, it is necessary to analyze the objects nearest to the FES. If there is an airport nearby, a military base, a commercial facility, then the flight is possible only with the prior approval.
  2. It is necessary to plan the flight scheme of the drone through the software.
  3. Be sure to plan the height to which the drone should climb.
  4. Special attention should given to compliance with safety regulations.
  5. To conduct routine surveys, you must select satisfactory weather conditions.
  6. Avoid glare from the FEM – this can lead to errors in the interpretation of images.
  7. It is important not to exceed the flight speed, because the image will be blur.
  8. Checking the quality of shooting should done immediately on the site.

The newest method of servicing with the use of drones significantly expands the possibilities and saves time. In addition, such indicators as speed and quality of service are significantly increased. This method is most relevant for large industrial FES, since other methods of research of such scales can take several weeks. It is still not know exactly, will receive a wide distribution in our state, but I very much hope that this will happen in the near future. Currently, the Energy of Nature team – Green Tariff “is already conducting research data on FES with the use of drones.

Tender system in Ukraine as an incentive for RES is real or empty talk.

0

The Verkhovna Rada stated that by December 2018 a bill on the promotion of alternative energy in our country would be agree. This document will regulate the implementation of the tender mechanism in the energy market. Government officials provided such information during a press conference.

MPs said they were worried about the prospects for developing RES. The reason for this was the immutability of state policy in relation to alternative energy. People’s constituents are confident that leaving everything as it is, the investment attractiveness of our country will be lost, and the goals set by 2020 will not be achieve.

In addition, government officials said they could not allow a greenhouse gas default. Oleksandr Dombrovsky, Acting Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Fuel and Energy, drew attention to the fact that Ukraine needs urgent optimization of the existing system of incentive measures for alternative energy.

The members of the Ukrainian Association of Resource Directors expressed their support for the plans of the government. They also noted that the “green” energy market of Ukraine lacks evolutionary changes, which will lead to a steady growth of energy and the formation of the industry as a whole.

The Tender system, which will carry the obligatory nature of the interaction, will be apply to the SES with a capacity of more than 10 megawatts and a power plant with a capacity exceeding 20 megawatts. Such a mechanism will balance the energy system of the country and will create a competitive working environment in the energy market.

Previously put into operation of power the new bill will not touch. In addition, it should be noted that lots would be divided into one megawatt. Due to this, investors will be able to implement new projects without any restrictions.

The described draft law No. 8 449 has already been submit on June 7 of this year. Government officials are planning to adopt it by the end of 2018. The bill will enable the introduction of a new system from 2020. Projects that are currently under development will be able to sign a preliminary agreement. This will be possible subject to availability of documentation confirming this project status. The agreement may be conclude before July 1 of the next year under the current conditions.

The possibility of concluding an agreement for twenty years indicated on the pages of the bill will be able to create conditions for the sustainable development of renewable energy after the green tariff ceases to apply. Julia Kovalov (Head of the Office of the National Investment Council) and Pidlisetskij Lion (People’s Deputy) stated this. It was also note that the waiver of the bill would lead to a complete loss of investment attractiveness of RE projects after 2020.

The head of the Ukrainian Association of RES, Orzhel Aleksey, said that the introduction of changes to the system of stimulating the development of alternative energy in our country is an inevitable process. For renewable energy advocates and those who are building a business in this area, such changes should be in the list of priority interests. Mr. Orzhel called the government’s initiative very timely and necessary.
