The crisis in the East of Europe has highlighted a number of weaknesses of the Ukrainian energy sector: excessive dependence on Russia, grid instability, economic inefficiency and lack of flexibility. Paradoxically, renewable energy sources, discussed until recently in terms of unnecessary luxury, can become part of the solution of the Ukrainian energy equation. Increasing the share of renewable energy will translate into an increase in Ukraine’s energy security, which is also in the interests of Poland and the European Union.
