Abstract

Introduction. Today, the country is in energy import dependence, so there is a sharp problem of reorientation of needs and proposals related to the country’s energy development. Despite the significant contribution of scientists to the development of theoretical and practical aspects of the introduction of renewable energy sources in Ukraine, a number of problems remain unresolved, in particular, in terms of benefits and prospects for the use of alternative energy sources in Ukraine.

The purpose of this article is to determine the prospects and positive impact of the use of renewable energy sources in Ukraine.

Results. The world is experiencing a rapid development of renewable energy, which is associated with the depletion of traditional energy resources, growing negative impact of energy on the environment, rising prices for traditional energy resources, as well as the desire of countries around the world for energy security and independence. Given Ukraine’s growing energy dependence on Russian energy supplies and the constant rise in energy prices, the developing energy-intensive national economy suffers significant losses, leading to lower production and slowing down socio-economic development. Therefore, the issue of reducing energy dependence through the formation of an effective program of energy conservation and development of alternative energy in Ukraine should be considered as strategically important and in need of urgent solution. The main and most effective areas of renewable energy in Ukraine are wind energy, solar energy, bioenergy, hydropower, geothermal energy.

Conclusions. The main modern views on the definition of “renewable energy sources” are studied. The energy strategy of Ukraine until 2035 is analyzed. The main advantages of renewable energy and its positive impact on the environment are identified. The most powerful solar power plants and wind power plants in Ukraine are listed. It is concluded that the use of renewable energy sources is environmentally friendly, modern, safe and resource efficient.

Key words: renewable energy sources, solar energy, wind energy, biofuel, hydropower.
