The Ukrainian market: an analysis of the current situation and possibilities of building an effective business.
The Energy Strategy of Ukraine.
The new energy strategy, approved by the Ukrainian government in early 2006, suggests that our state is almost four times the increase use of alternative energy sources to 10.9 million. Mr. t. e. (million. tonnes of oil equivalent) in 2005 to 40.4 million. Mr. t. e. in 2030. This initiative will require investment in the energy sector at a rate of about 60.4 billion. hryvnia, or 7.9 billion. euro. The greatest growth is expected to use. solar Energy. , Wind power and low-grade heat, but their mass application starts with a negligible level, since at present the total installed capacity (including small hydroelectric power station ) is only 0.18 GW. However, the total capacity of power plants producing electricity from alternative energy sources (excluding biofuels and small hydro ) should grow in 2030 to 2.1 GW.
The adopted strategy includes the development of renewable energy in compliance with the fundamental principles of European security strategy, competitive and sustainable energy. The Energy Strategy of Ukraine is established by a number of incentives to encourage production and use of energy from renewable sources, but most of them have not yet found a detailed reflection of the law.
The Ukrainian government is actively cooperating and implementing energy efficiency projects and the development of new and renewable energy sources with financial institutions and international organizations, such as NEFCO, ADEME, IFC, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the World Bank and other.
There is a program of state support for the development of alternative and renewable energy sources and small hydropower plants. The target for renewable energy in 2030 is 19 % of the total generation. Current funding, pledged in the State budget is limited only by the wind energy and not enough to significantly stimulate the development of the sector. Nevertheless, the EU allocates 319 million UAH (27.7 euros) to support the implementation of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine.
It is expected that Ukraine will be a big deal to experience some difficulties with debt financing because of the recession and in any case would require more sophisticated approaches to structuring. At the same time, international financial institutions to invest more funds in Ukraine. IFC announced it would invest about $ 500 million in 2010 to support the implementation of various projects ( including those related to energy). The EBRD approved a 50 million. dollars in the development of alternative energy in Ukraine. The World Bank will allocate 250 million. USD. The United States in 2010 for energy projects in Ukraine.

Producers of electricity from solar energy received the highest coefficients for the calculation of the tariff:.

4.8. - For terrestrial plants.
The tariff rate for peak hours is 1.8. This is provided by NERC Decree № 529 of 07.19.2005.

2. Starting from January 1, 2011,. the proportion of materials and components of Ukrainian origin in the solar modules. That are used in the construction of solar power should be at least 30 percent.
The business model for companies working in the field of solar energy.
According to statements in the public domain closest to the implementation of this model, companies such as. ActivSolar. ,. SolarUA. and. quasar. As well as several newcomers who plan to occupy the market segment associated with the introduction of thin-film technology based on amorphous silicon. The other players of the domestic solar energy market focused on a narrower market segments, for example, only in the production of silicon ...
Production of components in Ukraine requires a clear understanding of target markets. The current situation is relatively favorable for the entry into foreign markets, but it involves a serious training in terms of technical excellence of the products and the ability to effectively compete with cheaper counterparts produced in other regions. On the other hand, the legal requirement of a 30% share of materials and components in the Ukrainian-made solar modules used in the construction of solar power, promotes the formation of the future domestic demand for such products.
Despite the considerable resources of solar energy, especially in southern areas of the country, the market for electricity generation using solar power in Ukraine is still in its infancy. The installed capacity of solar stations at the moment is only about 1 MW. Just a few MW will be commissioned in the coming months, although adverse weather conditions in the Crimea in the winter and some other factors may shift the launch of new facilities by spring 2011. All in all, according to the analytical prediction of GlobalData, the installed capacity of SES in Ukraine will be by 2015. about 157 MW, with an annual market growth of about 90 %.
Construction projects require solar power solutions rather disparate tasks. Here are some of them:.
search and selection of land for the installation of solar power plants with subsequent analysis of the effectiveness of the project, taking into account specific regional factors;.
system design and engineering;.
selection and purchase of equipment.
provision of permits and approvals to connect to ...
equipment installation and system testing;.
operation, monitoring and maintenance.
Solving these problems requires not only the ability to work on the Ukrainian market, but rather the specific expertise and technical nuances of designing and building solar power plants. Of course, over time, this experience is gained, and while the events may occur in several scenarios:.
a. Cooperation with large foreign players who have years of practical experience and a long list of completed projects. In this way the company went SolarUA, recently signed a cooperation agreement with an engineering company in the U.S..
2. The transfer of the general contract for the construction of solar power a foreign developer with relevant experience and qualifications. Based on available data, the path chosen Austrian ActivSolar, is building now in the Crimea, its first solar power plant.
3. Adapting the experience and knowledge gained during the implementation of projects for the construction of small and medium-sized projects in the larger facilities of alternative power. This path is the closest of Quasar, which has experience in implementing projects in different parts of the world.
Of course, in practice, the above scenarios can be combined with the realities of ongoing projects and lessons learned developer. But in any case, at the initial stage of the solar energy industry in Ukraine is co-operation with the world's leading developers of solar energy solutions guarantees the target level of capital investment and generate electricity and provide effective business building.
