PRESS RELEASE: The third European-Ukrainian energy day
On May 29-30, 2012, Kyiv will for the third time host the European-Ukrainian Energy Day, organized by the European-Ukrainian Energy Agency (EUEA) and the Conference House Company. Over two previous years the European-Ukrainian Energy Day has become a leading platform for dialogue about Sustainable Energy development of Ukraine and gathered about 600 Ukrainian and international experts in energy efficiency and alternative energy. This year event will focus on energy efficiency in Housing. Problem of energy efficiency in housing and communal service is one of the most complicated topics in Ukrainian economy. The complexity of the subject is primarily caused by its close connection to the quality of life of citizens, and as a result - with excessive politicization. Besides, energy efficiency in housing cannot be considered in isolation from the construction industry, where the technological basis of buildings that are energy efficient should be seen. A culture of efficient energy use by the population itself is also an integral part of reforming the energy market of Ukraine. Jointly with the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Utility Services of Ukraine, we will consider two most complex and important issues: • Energy Culture and Ukraine – tipping the balance between EE & RE. • Utilities and housing infrastructure modernization: EPC and ESCO. Also on the 2012 Agenda: • Civil Society and the Energy Sector – achieving positive change. • Electricity market and grid sustainability. Smart grids. • B2B dialogues with market leaders on wind energy, biogas and hydro power.
