As a leading country of energy transition, Germany is sharing its lessons learned with Ukraine and supporting it with recommendations on the integration of the renewable energy sources into the system and power grids. Considering the good geographical conditions for wind and solar energy in the south of the country, the Ukrainian government is actively working on increasing the renewable energy generation.

Ukraine and Germany have set themselves ambitious energy transition targets. Ukraine has significant natural potential for a "green" transition and is fully capable to reach 70% share of renewable energy sources in electricity production by 2050. Interim goals are set at 25% by 2035. Germany aims to reach at least 80% share of renewable energy in electricity supply by 2050 and up to 45% by 2025.
