Debt in the electricity market: the main obstacle to the development of green technologies

The issue of debt in the electricity market remains one of the biggest obstacles to the construction of new green energy capacities in Ukraine, said Olga Savchenko, who is a senior partner at the law firm 'Altelo'.

«It is absolutely clear that the key restraining factor for the development of the renewable energy sector remains the debts in the electricity market», – noted the expert.

The expert pointed out that the problem arose due to the lack of a comprehensive approach to paying for electricity produced at green power plants in temporarily occupied territories.

Savchenko believes that green energy played a key role in supporting the energy system of the country during the electricity deficit. However, for further development of the sector, it is necessary to solve the problem of debts to investors who intend to launch new projects.

Earlier, the director of the company 'Energo-plus' Yevhen Korf noted that accumulated debts hinder the development of the Ukrainian renewable energy market and attracting investments.

The issue of debt in the electricity market in Ukraine is key in the context of problems with the development of green technologies. Experts emphasize that solving this problem is necessary to move the sector forward. Comprehensive measures must be taken to stabilize the market and create favorable conditions for investments in renewable energy.
