Ukraine and Denmark signed an Agreement on the expansion of energy partnership in the field of wind generation.

The parties undertook to promote the further development of the energy partnership, as well as exchange experience and knowledge in this area, reports the Government portal.

It is noted that the document was signed online by the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko and the Minister of Climate, Energy and Communal Services of the Kingdom of Denmark Lars Ohor during the WindEurope's 2023 conference held in Copenhagen.

The message emphasized that the partnership will include:

  • exchange of information and cooperation of experts in the development of strategy, policy and legal measures in the field of wind energy;
  • exchange of knowledge in the development of technological capabilities;
  • formation of a stable basis for investment and trade activities in the wind energy sector.

Galushchenko noted that Ukraine strives to become a leader in building a modern green energy sector and to achieve a 50% share of RES in the energy balance by 2050.

"The development of partnership with Denmark in the field of wind energy is extremely important for us in this context," he emphasized.

Galushchenko also called on the Danish partners to use the potential of bilateral cooperation between the countries, in particular within the framework of the newly signed Agreement.
