Nowadays, despite many risks and legislative hurdles, the Ukrainian market of renewable energy is one of the most attractive in the world - in Ukraine there is a "green" tariff for existing for such projects, besides in the framework of a military conflict in Donbas, strategic need for decentralization of power has been arosed, and can be solved by the construction of independent local sources of electricity. Along with the implementation of projects megawatt class, in Ukraine actively began to form a segment of medium and small stations, including roof "domestic" solar power plants. There are first successful examples of the first sale of electricity to the grid by the "domestic" PV-systems. Thus, the direction of renewable energy in Ukraine is one of the fastest growing industries, which offers good opportunities in the implementation of different scale projects: small, medium and large.

However, despite the fact that the model of the "Feed-in" tariff acts in Ukraine 5 years, today the market participants and potential investors have not less sectoral questions than in 2009. How to get a license on Electrogeneration and effective interaction with the updated regulator - NKREKU, during getting the "green" tariff. How to ensure the connection of the object to the grid? How to ensure compliance with the 50 percent "local" content for the projects? What legislative "surprises" can be expected by market participants in the nearest future? To these and many other issues for industry will be devoted 5th spesialized seminar "How to connect renewable energy facilities to the grid and get the" green "tariff", which to be held 10th December, 2014 in Kiev (Conference Hall Green Well).

Organizers: IBCentre and Association of Alternative Fuel and Energy Market Participants of Ukraine(APEU) .We will be discussing with the key industry experts:

● How to prepare project for the guaranteed fund raising;

● how to obtain a license for Electrogeneration;

● What is needed in the process of implementation of the project;

● how to get the "green" tariff from updated NCRECU;

● how to count and how to provide "local content";

● which legislative changes might expect Ukrainian renewable energy in the nearest future;

● how to minimize risks while implementing the projects in terms of recent legislative initiatives and changes;

● production and sales of "green" electricity –what the operators of renewable energy projects should know;

● Is it worth to implement renewable energy project in your case or better to focus on something else;

● in some countries in 2015 is expected to adopt "green" tariff law, whether they are regarded as promising new markets;

● as well as many other issues, faced by companies operating in the renewable energy market, and companies which are planing to invest in energy projects.
