On 24 October 2025, UWEA Board Chairman Andriy Konechenkov moderated the strategic dialogue “Green Energy: What the Industry Leaders Are Preparing For” as part of the annual Forbes Ukraine energy forum “Energy of Business”.
On one stage were Olha Rybachuk, CEO of Elementum Energy and a member of the UWEA Board, and Alina Sviderska, CEO of Scatec in Ukraine. Together they discussed the most pressing challenges and opportunities of Ukrainian “green” energy during a period of transformation and recovery.
“Even during the war, renewable energy companies continue to develop projects that can visibly support the country in a time of energy crisis”, — emphasised the moderator of the discussion, Andriy Konechenkov.
The participants discussed:
- which specific projects the companies Elementum Energy and Scatec are implementing today;
- what is holding back the development of the sector and which legislative changes are capable of accelerating progress;
- why renewables auctions have not yet become a full-fledged replacement for the “green tariff”;
- how the introduction of a guarantees-of-origin system could open up the path to the European market for Ukrainian producers;
- and what the “green” energy sector will look like in 2030.
The Forbes “Energy of Business” forum traditionally brings together leading market players, investors and regulators — those who shape the future of Ukraine’s energy sector. Once a year, the leading business publication asks the key question: where are we today — and where are we heading tomorrow?
We sincerely thank Forbes Ukraine for the invitation to take part and for the opportunity to moderate a discussion that shapes the vision of the country’s energy future.
