Energy sector and energy independence reform is
underway in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Government has developed laws on energy
efficiency to promote economization of energy resource consumption and
establishment of a new comprehensive market of energy services with thousands
of new jobs.
New laws are aimed at creating more comfortable
conditions in hospitals, kindergartens, schools and other budgetary
institutions through attraction of private investors to undertake a large-scale
energy retrofitting.
The laws shall come into force from October
2015, at the beginning of the heating season. Local governments obtain an
opportunity to conclude deals with private companies for energy conservation
services. Due to the cost-effective measures, the funds will be fully returned
by government to the investor. The business will get an impetus for the
development and creation of new workplaces, while the budgets of all levels -
additional sources of revenues.
Investments in energy efficiency of the
budgetary sphere are needed in the amount of EUR 4.4 billion.
Nowadays around 100 thousand budgetary
institutions require thermo-retrofitting, that will allow to economize in 2020
up to 200 million cubic meters of gas and other resources.
