Abstract

In view of the Europe-wide energy crisis and global climate change, Ukraine could contribute to the development of the entire European energy network if it rebuilds its energy system after the war in accordance with the principles of climate neutrality. The aim of the research was to identify options for the development of renewable energy in Ukraine as a prerequisite for the modernization of its energy industry towards climate neutrality. It was found that wind energy generation is the most cost-effective option for future green electricity generation in Ukraine after solar energy using the method of comparing electricity generation costs, investment needs and CO2 emissions of various energy sources, as well as analyzing the regional distribution of natural potential for generating wind and solar energy. Using the method of analyzing capacity factors of electricity generation from renewable energy sources, it was found that the share of renewable energy in Ukraine could increase to 65% in primary energy consumption and to 70% in electricity supply by 2050.  Keywords: renewable energy, climate neutrality, reconstruction, energy system.
