Ukrainians Consume Four Times as Much Energy as Do Other Europeans:
UKRINFORM, August 25, 2011
http://www.ukrinform.ua/eng/order/?id=230014
The main consumer of energy resources in Ukraine is not industry, but households. According to Serhiy Diachenko, energy programs coordinator at the Razumkov Center, "Ukrainian houses consume energy resources four fold up against Europeans. We are at the level of their energy consumption in the 1970s." Such a high level of energy resources consumption is explained by several factors: the age of Ukrainian houses (they were constructed from materials that cannot preserve heat for a long time), absence of energy consumption culture with Ukrainians, as well as cost of energy resources, which is considerably higher in Europe against Ukraine. A European resident pays $600/1,000 cubic meters of gas; this figure is considerably lower in Ukraine.

“Green” Boom - Ukrainian Alternative Fuel Market to Grow Fourfold:
The Day, by Natalia Bilousova, August 18, 2011
http://www.day.kiev.ua/214272
The domestic market of alternative fuels will grow much more rapidly than previously expected due to the rapid rise of the Russian natural gas price. According to the president of the Association of Alternative Fuels and Energy Market Participants of Ukraine Vitalii Davii, the production of “green” electricity increased by 15.7 percent in the first six months of 2011 compared to the corresponding period of 2010 and reached 274.343 million kilowatt-hours. Out of this, small hydro power plants generated 191.961 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, wind power units produced 29.839 million kilowatt-hours, bioenergy plants generated 3.484 million kilowatt-hours, while solar energy plants’ output was 3.335 million kilowatt-hours. Davii predicts that growth rate of alternative power production will be 16-18 percent in the second half of the year due to the fast speed of constructing and launching of new facilities in Ukraine.

Eleven Ukrainians Toured Europe on Bicycles Searching for Alternative Sources of Energy:
The Day, by Viktoria Bilash, August 23, 2011
http://www.day.kiev.ua/214449
The 5th European Partnership Bicycle Tour, in which 11 of the 26 participants were Ukrainians, has finished in Brussels. During the two-week, 1,000-kilometers tour, the travelers were to borrow the experience of producing energy from alternative sources in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. In Germany, wind and the sun account for the largest share of the energy produced from alternative sources. There the team could see new modern-day wind power plants on every 5th or 6th kilometer of the road. Today, Germany has 21,600 wind turbines with an overall capacity of 27,200 MW. By contrast, the power of all Ukrainian wind plants is less than 50 MW. Also popular in Germany are solar farms equipped with photovoltaic systems which convert solar radiation into direct current electricity. This Ukrainian-German project was under the patronage of Viola von Cramon, the Bundestag spokesperson for external relations. She said of Ukraine: “Instead of building coal procession plants, one can build wind turbines, solar batteries, and bio thermal installations."

Alternative Energy Investors Should Look to East Europe:
Reuters, by Henning Gloystein, Karolin Schaps & Michael Kahn, August 26, 2011
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/26/us-europe-utilities-investments-idUSTRE77P2EI20110826
Experts say development of onshore wind, photovoltaics, grid operations and coal and gas power generation in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and Turkey offer potentially good returns. Investors are looking to Ukraine, in part, because of a program of state support for the development of renewable energy sources and small hydro power plants. Ukraine plans to generate 30 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2015, triple the level in 2010. Ukraine has attracted foreign companies such as Austrian firm Activ Solar, which is involved in building the Okhotnykovo, one of Europe's biggest solar power plant projects, with a maximum generation capacity of 80 megawatts. According to Activ Solar CEO Kaveh Ertefai, "A project of this magnitude (...) should confirm Ukraine's position as an upcoming renewable energy provider."

Azarov Says Ukraine Is Considering Termination of Gas Contract Through Court:
Interfax-Ukraine, August 28, 2011
http://www.kyivpost.com/news/nation/detail/111841/
Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov says the Russian authorities' position on the gas issues is forcing Ukraine to think about seeking a court ruling to terminate their gas supply contract. Azarov said that he has already told Putin during gas talks: "You are driving us into a corner, from which we have only one exit: contract termination." However, it is difficult for Ukraine to prove to its Russian partners that the gas price for Ukraine is inflated in comparison with other European consumers. The Ukrainian government has already consulted with national and international experts over the prospects for litigation with Moscow and is ready to institute proceedings.
