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.
