The Cabinet of
Ministers of Ukraine initiated the accession of Ukraine to the Statute of the
International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The relevant draft order of the
President of Ukraine drafted by the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and
Energy Saving of Ukraine was approved at the Government meeting on Wednesday.
Being the party to
the IRENA statute Ukraine will benefit from an opportunity to participate in
programmes and apply to Abu Dhabi Development Fund to obtain preferential
loans.
Joining the
Statute, Ukraine shall obtain access to information on the use of renewable
energy sources, current renewable energy practices, including policy
instruments, incentives, investment mechanisms, best practices, available
technologies, integrated systems and equipment, and success-failure factors.
The Statute
stipulates for the Agency to provide information about the development and
deployment of national and international technical standards in relation to
renewable energy, thus promoting cooperation between the parties to the IRENA
statute. Another benefit is participation in the IRENA will afford to get
necessary policy advice and assistance, engage in international discussions on
renewable energy policy.
