Abstract

The article analyzes the development of global and domestic renewable energy, summarizes research on renewable energy sources and outlines ways of strategic development of renewable energy in Ukraine. A number of technical-technological and organizational-economic measures aimed at improving the efficiency of energy potential of renewable energy sources have been identified. It is proved that at the present stage the use of renewable energy sources is growing. This indicates that in the long run, the use of renewable energy sources will allow producers to reduce financial costs for energy resources such as natural gas and coal, increase their income and increase the efficiency of domestic production, improve the environmental situation in the country. With the reduction of traditional energy resources and their rise in price, the main problem of the state is to ensure the country's energy security. Solving this problem, it focuses on energy from sources such as solar, wind, biological industrial and household waste, the use of hydro and geothermal energy, as well as the introduction of innovative energy-saving technologies in social production. Along with the increase in the use of non-fossil energy sources, the level of economic security of the country will increase, which will have a positive impact on human health. Given that renewable energy sources have an inexhaustible resource and are an important reserve for increasing Ukraine's energy independence, there is a need for research in the field of renewable energy. The aim of the article is to study promising ways to use renewable energy to the extent that would maximize the country's energy independence. Given the crisis in the country's energy sector and the exorbitant prices of fossil energy resources, efforts need to be made to develop and use renewable energy sources. Given that Ukraine has all the conditions for renewable energy, using sources such as sun, wind, biological waste and household waste, geothermal energy of the Earth, hydropower, etc., the country is able, in the strategic perspective, to occupy one of the leading places in the world for the development and use of renewable energy. The use of renewable energy sources and the introduction of resource-saving technologies in production can have a positive effect not only on reducing the cost of energy resources and increasing the competitiveness of domestic industrial and agricultural products, but also improving the ecological environment.
