The installed capacity of renewable energy facilities today is 7 GW. This figure excludes large hydroelectric power plants, renewable energy facilities in the Russia-controlled parts of Ukraine — 637 MW — and small solar power plants of private households – 618 MW. Today, renewables account for 8% of Ukraine’s power, but 26% of the national power bill. Defenders of green power say Ukraine’s power bill does not reflect the hidden, long term costs of power — dismantling nuclear reactors and re-building aging hydroelectric dams.
