The need for energy security, stability and energy independence is driving governments across the world to promote and develop renewable power sources, including solar photovoltaic

Hydropower is the largest renewable source of power generation and currently accounts for about 20% of the world’s total electricity supply. The world’s hydropower installed capacity increased from 695.8GW (Gigawatts) in 2001 to 888.8GW in 2009, registering a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. Since hydropower is a mature technology, it has witnessed a modest growth rate. Even though fossil fuels dominate electricity generation across the world, more than 60 countries use hydropower for meeting more than half of their electricity needs. The technology is the most popular renewable source of electricity generation as for various reasons, which include its ability to instantaneously respond to changing electricity demand, water management and flood control.

Energy policy, technologies, markets and the environment were the topics of a dialogue session held by the GermanAmericanBusinessForum (GABF) on May 5, 2010.

Geothermal heat pumps use the warmth and coolness of the underground earth to heat AND cool the home. Even climates with extreme winters and summers maintain an underground temperature that is close to constant, unlike air temperatures. Geothermal heating pumps take advantage of that to use constant temperature to heat AND cool homes. Some geothermal systems also heat water for the home.

On 29.04.2010 National Energy Regulation Commission of Ukraine (NERC) determined “green tariff” rates for “Ukrainska Molochna Kompania” company (UMK). UMK is the first company in Ukraine to receive the license, which allows UMK to sell electricity produced by means of biogas technologies.

Automatic screen printer, automatic sorting machine, and plate PECVD are still dependent on import. Presently, the mainstream production lines of solar cells in China adopt both domestically made and imported equipment. A standard 25MW production line calls for the investment of approximately USD 5-9 million.
