The document discusses the current status and future expectations of Ukraine's wind energy sector. It notes that Ukraine's "green tariff" supports wind energy projects at a rate of 10.2 eurocents per kWh through 2020. In 2016, 11.7 MW of new wind capacity was added for a total of 525.6 MW, and 125 MW was added in 2017. However, there are still issues and uncertainties around grid connection costs and processes, currency regulations, and incentives that could help or hinder further growth of the wind energy sector in Ukraine. Global forecasts predict wind energy could provide 20% of the world's power by 2030, with Ukraine's plans targeting between 5-10% of its energy from renewable sources

Capacity of wind turbines
According to EWEA: 15 MW turbines are planned and 20 MW
turbines are considered to be theoretically possible.

6. • Global Wind Energy Outlook: 20% of world power will
be produced from wind energy by 2030
• International Energy Agency: 60% of RES, especially
wind and solar energy, in world power production in
2040
• UA National plan of action: 2280 GW of wind farms in
2020 from total 10,9 GW of RES facilities
• UA draft Energy Strategy until 2035: 10 % of RES in
power production in 2025 and 25 % in 2035 (5% in
2015)
• UA draft Energy Strategy until 2035: wind and solar
may cover only 5% of population consumption and 5
GW of new RES facilities
