The Russian invasion to Ukraine has severely damaged the country’s energy infrastructure, leaving municipalities struggling to restore essential services like electricity, water, and heat. Ensuring energy security is crucial, and increasing renewable energy installations at municipal sites is a promising solution. There is also a need to create financial instruments to support these projects.
Join the webinar, during which we:
- present the results of the study “Financing Renewable Energy Projects in Ukrainian Municipalities” (ecoclubrivne.org/en/finnancing_res_study/),
- share the experiences of communities in implementing reconstruction projects, particularly in the field of renewable energy: technical and economic figures of projects, experience in installing and operating solar power plants during power outages,
- discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by communities and highlight the current state of resource availability for reconstruction,
- present a vision of how renewable energy projects should be financed and provide a list of existing ideas for renewable energy projects (RES).
