� “Feed-in-tariff” as a main driver but only for business not for communities
�No proper consideration of environmental and social issues (for ex. violation of nature protection areas regimes)
� Public resistance: locals don’t get benefits!!!
CONTEXT OF RES DEVELOPMENT IN
UKRAINE
Renewable but
not sustainable !
Public protests
against EBRD
financing for small
hydropower
LEADING TO:
� To monitor projects development
� To develop and promote application of
RES “sustainability criteria”
� To promote the idea of community driven initiatives
to use renewables for the benefit of locals

PARTICIPATING ORGANISATIONS
• Demonstrate affordability and feasibility of solar
energy to everyone;
• Teach interested people how to use energy of the
Sun for water and house heating;
• Demonstrate available simple methods of energy
saving;
• Increase energy independence of the families;
• Lower the negative effect of using fossil fuels.
PROJECT GOALS
8
SOLAR COLLECTOR
Technology is provided by German company “Solar Partner Sud”
Solar collector is a passive and grid-independent system. Hot fluid
flows between a light absorber and a storage tank by the convection
principle. So, the system can work without any electrical pumps.
Solar collector with 2 square meter
panel heats up about 200 L of water
in couple sunny hours
OUR COLLECTORS ARE INSTALLED ON
PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS, SCHOOLS AND
OTHER PUBLIC BUILDINGS
EXAMPLE 1: PUBLIC SCHOOL IN KOLKY TOWN, VOLYN REGION
� Supplies shower rooms and bathrooms
� 4 square meters absorber
� 200 L tank
� Copper heat exchanger
� Built-in electric backup heater
� Natural circulation
� Constructor: Vitaliy Shramko
EXAMPLE 2: SOLAR HEATING SYSTEM LOCAL ECOLOGICAL CENTRE IN
TATARBUNARY
Collectors with 4 sq m absorbing area are used for the “warm
floor” type heating.
Building: Total room area = 61,5 sq m
Average monthly economy = €30 – €50
INFORMATION CAMPAIGNS
� Leaflets about the Project
and the structure of a solar
collector
� Info stands in schools and
public buildings
� Practical manual on
construction of the collectors
• About 1 000 interested people received knowledgeand practice of using solar energy and insulating theirhouses. They install DIY solar collectors and insulatetheir homes using cheap local materials
• 5 new trainers have already been prepared to givefurther trainings to local residents
• €200 is an average cost from locals that come as aninvestment in new solar collector (total cost ~ €300)
• More than 50 collectors installed in Ukraine
• In target regions of Ukraine the Project members workwith local authorities to find ways to promote RES andEE in municipalities
PROJECT PROGRESS
• Widespread belief among population that RES are
unaffordable
• Poor awareness among rural residents about eco-
friendly insulation materials
• No economic stimulus to search for new energy efficient
and renewable energy technologies
• No effective state policy incentives for local
communities
MAIN OBSTACLES
� Developing locally based mechanisms of RES and EE promotion
� More qualified specialists
� Local business development
� More solar collectors and insulated buildings
� Joint projects and events
� Developing state policy for local RES and EE support
