The authors noted that from 2017 to 2021, Ukraine was the most dynamic country in Eastern Europe in terms of renewable energy development.

They also explained that in Europe, wind energy, against the background of energy blackmail from Russia, is becoming a reliable source of energy even in harsh weather conditions. After all, the efficiency of wind generation in winter is reduced by only 3.9%, compared to the volume of production in summer.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy and Utilities (CEA) Andriy Gerus blocked the resumption of construction more than 300 MW of wind power capacity for 5 companies, including 3 foreign ones.
