Ukraine has been going through one of its worst energy crises in the past three decades. Today, the state owes local green power producers $780 million and doesn’t have any clear plans for how to pay off the debt.
Energy experts who took part in a webinar, titled Energy Talk and held by the Kyiv Post and the European Business Association on Nov. 4, admit that the crisis was caused by wrong decisions made under previous governments. But they think today’s officials must do their best to fix everything and ensure stability.
