KYIV. May 31 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman has stated the need to create competitive conditions for the companies that wish to implement solar energy projects in the exclusion zone.
According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the government is considering the possibility of implementing solar energy projects in the exclusion zone and the zone of unconditional (mandatory) resettlement, which will help attract new investments and strengthen the country’s energy security.
“We believe it is necessary to create absolutely competitive conditions for those companies that want to take part in these large-scale projects (for the development of solar energy) so that they do this openly, publicly, through understandable procedures and mechanisms so that we could receive the best investments, minimize any interference and do everything very competitively, transparently,” Groysman said.
He noted “clean energy” will allow Ukraine to reduce dependence on conventional power sources.
“We have the opportunity to place powerful equipment to generate electricity. We see that we can accept the equipment and distribute it across the country,” Groysman stressed.
