Ukraine’s renewables sector is attracting unprecedented levels of investment in large-scale projects with major domestic business groups being joined by international strategic investors from Norway, Canada, the UK and Spain, amongst others.

- Ukrainian renewables in a global and European context and investor appetite for Ukrainian renewables projects
