#Part4CM The RO-UA Partnership for Climate Change Mitigation project aims to popularize and promote the use of renewable energy sources to reduce the negative impact on the environment.

The world is increasingly paying attention to the use of so-called renewable energy sources, such as the Earth's heat, wind, tidal energy, biogas, solar radiation, etc. Almost all of these energy sources are entirely driven by the direct action of the Sun. Among these sources, one of the most promising is the direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity in semiconductor solar cells. In recent years, solar energy has begun to develop actively in our country.

It could partially solve Ukraine's energy problems, especially in terms of power supply to remote non-electrified homes, and in conditions of unstable power supply and power outages, such installations would provide uninterrupted power supply. Unlike traditional forms of energy (gas, electricity, coal), solar energy is inexhaustible, environmentally friendly and free. Over the past 8 years, more than 40,000 solar power plants have been built and commissioned in Ukraine, selling electricity under the Green Tariff mechanism.

The popularity of such solutions was dictated by the clear procedure for commissioning such solar power plants, as well as the speed of implementation. The main function of such plants is to sell electricity to the grid. The active phase of the war with Russia, which began in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has set new requirements for solar power plants, namely, to provide electricity to homes in case of a long-term power outage.

The RO-UA Partnership for Climate Change Mitigation project is funded by the European Union through the European Neighborhood Instrument and co-financed by the countries participating in the ENI CBC Romania-Ukraine 2014-2020 Program.
