Kyiv (I-Newswire) August 28, 2011 - Such an opinion was expressed by the speakers of the 3rd International Forum on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Ukraine REF-2011, which will take place in Kyiv on 17-18th of October, 2011. In particular, established experts suppose that Ukraine’s experience on the project development, in the sphere of renewable energy, is very valuable and significant for other countries, and that REF-2011 Forum - is the key event in the sector, among the Eastern European countries.
As the member of committee of directors of «Nitol Group» (Russia, production of polysilicon, solar power engineering) Andrei Kotenko pointed out, «In the recent years we have been witnessing a dynamic development of the solar power engineering market in Ukraine. At the same time, investments are being directed at the generation of source of raw material for the sector, production of single and polycrystal silicon, as well as directly into the building of solar energy stations». This fact makes 3rd International Forum on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Ukraine interesting both for potential investors and specialists of solar energy, and for representatives of legal and executive branches of power, from a position of familiarizing with the experience of realization of assistance programs for solar power engineering in Ukraine. I’m convinced that Forum will be used as a platform for demonstration of the current status of the industry development in the CIS and as a place of fruitful business contacts».
Along with a dynamic development of renewable energy in the CIS countries, and Ukraine in particular, companies of the industry also expect the formation of the market of accompanying services.
«After the adoption of the legislation on a green tariff in 2009, the real boom of renewable projects has started in Ukraine. We can see first big projects being implemented this year. We are convinced, that a devopment boom in the sector will start next year, and it’s necessary to get ready for big size building-erection works», - noted Vadim Novikov, director of the Prenecon Ukraine company (wind-power engineering).
In his opinion, customers as well as contractors, are not ready for a boom in the industry, taking place in Ukraine today, however, the reach experience of the Western Europe, which will be represented at the REF-2011, will help to eliminate those «diseases of the developing market».
The importance of effective industry communications is also emphasized by the head of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund of Armenia,Tamara Babyan.
«International Forum, REF-2011 stresses the growth of strategic sector of renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency and contributes to the development of international cooperation, including the interaction between researchers, professionals of the sector, investors and governments, for a further growth in the dynamic, global market economy. Forum will grant a unique opportunity for establishing of new business contacts, by creating a platform for an exchange of information and experience, and also to define new projects and investment possibilities. I’m sure that all participants will gain new knowledge and information for their appropriate sphere of activities».
