Ukraine plans to achieve 30 GW of renewable energy by 2030, which will make up 50% of the RES share in the energy mix, and to export 15 GW of green hydrogen and electricity to the EU.
DTEK CEO Maksym Timchenko said this during the round table "Ukraine: Acceleration of Decarbonization in Europe" at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, DTEK's press service reports.
It is noted that the "30 to 2030" initiative was presented at WEF 2022 in Davos.
During the round table, Timchenko called on international companies to join the coalition of those willing to rebuild the ecological future of Ukraine. After all, any process of restoring the country must have a European perspective and be based on new green electricity, accelerating the energy transition in the EU.
"Ukraine can become the main exporter of clean energy to the EU and make a major contribution to the post-war energy security system of Europe, he said. – We have no doubt that Ukraine can become a leader in decarbonization."
It was noted that the round table contributed to an active discussion about the fact that Ukraine can speed up the process of integration into the EU. Special attention should be paid to planning the development of renewable energy sources.
The press service emphasized that Ukraine's energy security should be at the center of discussions among world leaders.
"The war in Ukraine did not start on February 24, 2022. The war began many years ago with Russia blackmailing the European energy market with gas prices and gas supplies to the EU. Over the years, the war escalated, and now we see a Russian military campaign aimed at destroying energy facilities throughout Ukraine," Tymochko emphasized.
High-ranking politicians, ambassadors, energy experts and business leaders took part in the round table to discuss critical issues related to the energy security of Ukraine and the EU, as well as the future "green" transition.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the DTEK initiated the project "30 to 2030", which will be able to replace Russian energy sources, helping the EU to redesign its energy security.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, the deputy head of the Office of the President Rostislav Shurma said that Ukraine in 2 years can increase RES capacity from the existing 3 GW to 10 GW.
