Indicator 8 -  Renewable Energy Deployment


Table 8.1. Ukraine's net generation of electricity in 1999 

[Ref. 27]
  bln kWh %
Fossil fuel 86 49.9
Nuclear electric 72.1 41.8
Hydro electric 14.27 8.22
Renewable electric 0.13 0.08
Total 172.5 100

Besides that Ukraine possesses significant resources of wind, solar, small hydro, biomass and geothermal energy. Although none of these are currently exploited in significant quantities for electricity generation, their potential future contribution to the energy balance is being explored [Ref. 28]

First Ukrainian wind mills were installed in 1993. Since that time existing wind mills (table 8.2) produced around 17.5 m kWh of electricity [Ref. 29]. It should be mentioned that the larger half of installed turbines are outdated USW 56 -100 type.
