KYIV, April 16 – When the government creates conditions for the development of distributed generation, including the maneuverable generation critically scarce due to Russian shelling, businesses could potentially construct 500-1000 MW of such capacity by the end of the year, according to Heorhiy Heletukha, the Chairman of the Board of the Bioenergy Association of Ukraine (UABIO).

"I believe that it would still be possible to build up to 1000 MW of capacity by winter if we start doing this today. Looking more realistically, perhaps we can achieve half of this in the current year," he said at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine in Kyiv on Tuesday, discussing distributed generation development.
