During the meeting Chairman of the EUEA Board Dave Young summarized the main achievements of this year and predicted the priorities of the Agency for 2012. Members of EUEA shared their opinions on the key challenges which should be adressed by EUEA in coming future.

Dave Young noted that EUEA – is an independent organization that is not guided by political overtones, and objectively represents the alternative energy market, in political and financial circles, helps “green” companies to highlight their activities in information space.

According to Dave Young, EUEA ceased to be just the agency lobbying minor interests, and loudly declared itself in “green” market of Ukraine in 2011.

The positive aspect is the fact that during the collapse of the euro-zone there are still new players on the “green” market, and the European renewable energy industry is entering new markets, there are big donor investments in the energy efficiency sphere on the horizon.

At the same time, “green” tariff for biogas, distribution of clean energy supply to the grid, obtaining land foralternative energy facilities still remain to be problematic issues.

Elena Rybak said that the priority for EUEA in the next year will be strengthening of links with regional and local authorities – the Agency has already examined the potential of the Donetsk region, and in the spring of 2012 is going to visit the western and southern regions of Ukraine.

In addition, the preparations for the 3rd European-Ukrainian Energy Day, once again scheduled for late May will soon begin.
