The law should be “be adopted before the elections — because otherwise we will lose at least six months,” Torsten Wöllert, energy director for the European Commission’s Ukraine Support Group, told the Ukrainian Energy Forum in Kyiv on Tuesday. As approved Dec. 20 on first reading, the bill provides for moving next Jan. 1 to competitive auctions for most solar and wind projects. Noting that Ukraine can benefit from the experiences of other European countries, Wöllert said: “I very much hope that Ukraine will have a very advanced law.”
