INVESTMENT POTENTIAL OF RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE: PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND ENERGY SECURITY STRATEGY

Abstract

Introduction. Determining the current state and prospects for the development of renewable energy in Ukraine in the context of a full-scale war and its consequences for the energy security and sustainable development of the country, as well as identifying key factors influencing this process and potential ways to activate it, requires a comprehensive analysis of the existing renewable energy infrastructure, the level of its damage and losses, the dynamics of the development of new projects, the investment climate in the restoration and further development of the renewable energy sector as a key element of energy security and sustainable development of Ukraine. Solving this problem is critically important for ensuring energy sustainability, reducing dependence on fossil energy resources, and promoting an environmentally friendly recovery of the Ukrainian economy. The purpose. Determining the current state and prospects for the development of renewable energy in Ukraine in the context of a full-scale war and its consequences for the energy security and sustainable development of the country, as well as identifying key factors influencing this process and substantiating potential ways to activate it. Methods. The following methods were used in the study: system analysis, comparative analysis, statistical analysis, analysis of secondary data and company reports, and data visualization. Results. The research conducted allowed us to identify key trends and consequences of a full-scale war for the development of renewable energy in Ukraine, as well as identify potential areas for its further activation. Conclusion. Strengthening the development of renewable energy in Ukraine is critically important for strengthening energy independence, reducing dependence on imported energy resources and improving the environmental situation. To fully utilize the existing potential, it is necessary to improve financial instruments, in particular by attracting investments from domestic capital markets and strengthening control over the use of international financial assistance. Further optimization of the regulatory framework and state support for "green" energy by reducing financing of traditional energy sectors and increasing investment in renewable energy projects is of key importance. Active development of non-traditional renewable energy sources is a strategically important step for ensuring a sustainable future for the country and its integration into the European energy space.
