The Alexander Razumkov Ukrainian Center for Economic and Political Studies predicted the energy balance of Ukraine for the next 15 years, according to which the share of green energy in the balance will increase by 5 times - to 25%, and the share of coal will decrease by 2.5 times - to 13%.
Shares of gas and nuclear power in the consumption of primary energy remain approximately at the current level, respectively 30 and 25%. Experts also expect that the share of petroleum products will significantly decrease - up to 7%.

"Although the value of coal will gradually decrease. It will be replaced mainly by renewable energy, but the coal industry will play a prominent role in the Ukrainian energy sector until 2035. First of all for thermal generation, which performs, among other things, an important function of capacity maneuvering". This opinion was expressed by Vladimir Omelchenko, Director of Energy Programs at the Razumkov Center, during the presentation of the study “The Role and Place of Ukrainian Energy in World Energy Processes” at the Institute for European Politics.

Recall that the event was held on October 17, 2018 at the Institute for European Open Society Policy (OSEPI), in Brussels (Belgium).

The speakers were Torsten Wollert, head of the group on energy and the environment of the Support Group for Ukraine in the European Commission and Christian Egenhofer, head of the Energy and Climate program at the Center for Energy Research.
