The state should understand how to encourage investments,\u201d noted Kostyantyn Gura, representative of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine, acting director of public company \u201cCenter for Green Investments\u201d, at a discussion at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cgreen tariff\u201d developed for the period until 2030 is linked to euro rates, this reduces risks for foreign investors. However, the \u201cinvestment boom\u201d did not happen. According to Kostyantyn Gura, the main reason is the private sector which consumes 50 percent of all consumed energy. \u201cThe housing facilities in Ukraine are very old. Over 80 percent of buildings are not energy efficient, they require thermal modernization. In total, Ukraine needs UAH 16 billion of investments,\u201d Mr. Gura said. He added that the Center received 300 applications for investment project from various regions of Ukraine and selected 30 of them which had technical specifications for implementation.<br \/>\nEnergy efficiency experience of the Visegrad Four<\/p>\n<p>According to Mykhailo Gonchar, president of the Center for Global Studies \u201cStrategy \u0425\u0425\u0406\u201d, the Visegrad countries extract hardly any of their own energy resources. They use imported resources and take care of energy saving. \u201cUkraine\u2019s extraction potential is much higher, but we need to find balance. Ukraine traditionally continues to give priority to extraction policy, [but we should not forget about energy efficiency]. We have to achieve zero level of gas import mainly through reduction of consumption,\u201d said Mr. Gonchar.<br \/>\nUkraine should start from adopting appropriate legislation, emphasized Andriy Chubyk, executive director of the Center for Global Studies \u201cStrategy \u0425\u0425\u0406\u201d, co-author of the guideline. \u201cLaw-making process is very slow in Ukraine. Energy efficiency is mentioned among the priorities, however, key laws for this sector still remain drafts,\u201d he noted. Andriy Chubyk mentioned the example of the Czech Republic, which choose as priority not renewable energies but energy efficiency, and even has taxes on solar energy. Hungary focused its efforts on reduction of consumption in public sector and increasing share of renewable energies. Poland launched many national and regional programs to support development of energy efficiency and the renewables on the level of households. In Slovakia, the government takes care of energy efficiency while business promotes renewable energies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH Ukraine should create favorable investment environment for green energy and reduce energy consumption.
