The main event in the field of sustainable energy of Ukraine - the 6th International Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Forum in Ukraine REF-2014 Kyiv - will be held on October, 14-15, 2014, Kyiv, NSC "Olimpiyskiy"
The sweeping changes on the conventional energy sources market offer nowadays ample opportunities for investors to carry out renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Ukraine. The feed-in-tariff for the wind and solar energy, small hydro energetics, biofuel power-station as well as legislative basis for projects targeted on substitution of gas for energy alternatives are developing unique facilities for the sector growth in Ukraine.
Recent geopolitical events demonstrate that energy efficiency and renewable energy is almost the only real way to enhance energy security of Ukraine, increase competitive advantage of Ukrainian products and provide uninterruptible heating and power supply to the citizens.
Apart from a highly topical programme covering more than 60 reports and presentations of the best industry experts and key market players, REF-2014 Kyiv will also run a branch exhibition where a variety of services and equipment from the leading companies both foreign and Ukrainian will be presented. A separate part of REF-2014 Kyiv exposition is named “Secure heating season 2014-2015” and will be related to the decisions, equipment and fuel necessary to guarantee a viable upcoming heating season.
The key idea of the enterprises activities almost in every sector of Ukrainian economy is to cut energy expenditure.
Over the last 5 years REF-2014 Kyiv has confirmed its status as a main event in the field of sustainable energy within Eastern Europe having summoned key players in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency as well as heads of state departments, engineers, producers and suppliers of technical solution and equipment; bankers and investors, best international experts and professional associations representatives in the quality of speakers, partners and participants, aiming to strengthen legislative and economic basis for projects development in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
