Ukraine targets 50% of power from renewables to boost energy security
Ukraine aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its power generation to 50 per cent to boost energy security, the country’s Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko has said.
“We must strengthen the development of renewable energy sources and accelerate the energy transition. This is a matter of national security and the safety of electricity transmission,” Galushchenko was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s press service, Xinhua news agency reported.
Shifting to green energy will allow decentralising electricity generation, reducing the vulnerability of the power system, and increasing the security of energy supplies, Galushchenko said.
