KYIV, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Ukraine will need $20 billion in investments to develop its renewable power sector under a plan which seeks to boost its share in the country's energy mix to 27% by 2030, the government said on Tuesday.
The country's energy sector has lost half of its generating capacity as a result of Russian missile and drone attacks, which intensified in spring 2024, forcing it to rely on its nuclear plants as well as solar and wind generation.
The plan approved by the government aims to add around 10,000 megawatt of new generation facilities.
The share of renewable energy in heat and cold supply systems should reach 33%, in electricity generation 29% and in the transport sector 17% in 2030, the government said.
It did not say what the current share of renewables in the energy mix was. Local media reported that it accounted for 10%.
The government also said it would announce several tenders for the construction of new generating capacities of 700 megawatts and 5 to 80 megawatts. The new facilities are to be operational by the end of 2027.
Nuclear is Ukraine's largest source of low-carbon energy, but its plants have become the site of safety fears during the war with Russia.

Sure...
Get Europe to pay for it.
Exactly, who is paying? Alas it is rhetorical.
Zelenski will use any excuse or reason to sustain constant cash flow.....
Ah, some saying about when you’re up to your arse in alligators.
Paid for by USA tax dollars
Look in the mirror. You will be contributing if you want to or not. As will I.
Words fail :-(
With a war on, and us keeping them in the game by sending billions in aid, they have 20 Billion to spend on solar panels and windmills. Right. More proof of the artificial war.
And it will only cost a $50 billion “investment” (read that $30 billion in kickbacks? from the US.
The total winner of this war: China. NATO made Russia their new best supplier, and Ukraine their new best customer. Nobody does Green Energy without Red China.
I hear Hunter has a background in energy. Maybe they can put him on the board.
“Green” energy based on coal!
Hmm????
From the money we gave him?
