On 23 October 2024, a Memorandum of Partnership and Cooperation was signed in Kyiv between UWEA and the Institute of General Energy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. With this Memorandum, the parties cemented their aspiration to direct joint efforts towards the effective and balanced development of Ukraine’s energy complex, its “green” transformation and post-war recovery. Both organisations agreed to spread the practice and experience of using wind energy, to research modern wind energy technologies and to work towards building up the potential of the national wind energy industry.
Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board: “The modern wind energy sector today needs, among other things, a high-quality scientific view and approach. Especially regarding the planning of the effective integration of wind generation into Ukraine’s overall power system and the building up of the national wind energy industry. That is precisely why broad cooperation with various institutions of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has always been welcomed by our Association. I am convinced that the partnership with the Institute of General Energy of the NAS of Ukraine will not be limited exclusively to the provisions of the signed Memorandum, because both parties have both the professional and the technical resources to implement diverse projects and ideas. In particular, the Institute possesses a powerful material and technical base for carrying out systematic analysis and forecasting of the development of energy and energy consumption, as well as the monitoring and diagnostics of the technical state and the environment of energy systems and facilities, which may be extremely interesting for the further development of the industry”.
Vitalii Babak, director of the Institute of General Energy of the NAS of Ukraine: “The signing of the memorandum of cooperation between our Institute and the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association is an important step on the path to the development of renewable energy in Ukraine. Wind energy is one of the key components of the energy transition that we strive to implement in our country, given the climate challenges and the need to reduce dependence on traditional energy sources. Our cooperation will make it possible to combine the scientific potential of the Institute and the practical experience of the association, which will contribute to the development of new technologies, the conduct of research and the implementation of innovative solutions in the field of wind energy. I am confident that through joint efforts we will be able to contribute to the sustainable development of the industry and increase Ukraine’s energy security”.
UWEA is glad to see the Institute of General Energy of the NAS of Ukraine among the community of its reliable partners and hopes for fruitful cooperation for the benefit of Ukraine!
