On June 17, 2015, at 14:00 in Ukrainian House EUEA held the second meeting of professional talks that focused on wind energy – “RES in Ukraine: Biomass. Risks. Opportunities”. The event took place within European Sustainable Energy Week.

“According to the National Action Plan on renewable energy, energy generation from RES should be increased in 5.5 times, including biomass – in 40 times. This ambitious goal requires, at the most conservative estimate, excluding renovation of district heating sector, 17 billion euros. It is necessary to create favorable conditions to attract such investments. Our series of events will overview the current situation and necessary steps to secure the required number of investments into the sector “- opened the meeting Naum Rikshpun, Member of EUEA Board and Partner at Traficon.
