Ukraine Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2015

Ukraine Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Analysis and Forecasts to 2015 gives an in-depth analysis of the Ukraine solar PV power market and provides forecasts up to 2015. The research analyzes the growth and evolution of the Ukraine solar PV power market up to 2009 and gives historical and forecast statistics for the period 2001-2015. This research also gives detailed analysis of the market structures of the technology and regulatory policies that govern it. Detailed information on key current and upcoming assets give a roadmap to this industry’s development.

Ukraine is the twelfth largest power market in the world with an installed capacity of 54GW in 2009. Rapid industrialization has led to a tremendous increase in the demand from energy-intensive industries in the region. Ukraine exports its excess electricity to certain Central and Eastern European countries (CEEP), which include Russia, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, Moldova and Hungary. Ukrainian solar PV is driven by the green tariff system and has emerged as being the most effective incentive to promote solar energy in the country. The green tariff system, first introduced in September 2008 and amended in April 2009, introduced fixed Feed-In Tariffs (FIT) for electricity from renewable sources for 20 years. Ukraine’s solar PV market will have a bright outlook as a result of revision of the green tariff system in 2009. The green tariff system has so far been successful in garnering the interest of foreign investors in the Ukrainian PV industry. The high annual solar radiation levels, scientific and technological expertise as well as its capacity to produce over 10% of the volume of monocrystalline silicon will contribute to the future market development.
