KIEV, Dec. 23 - The installed capacity of renewable energy facilities in Ukraine in 2012 will at least double, according to Vitaliy Daviy, the president of the Association of Alternative Fuel and Energy Market Participants of Ukraine (APEU).

"I think Activ Solar will launch at least 150 MW solar power plants. [Facilities with] some more dozens of megawatts will be built by Rentechno and SunElectra. The wind energy sector will see an increase by 100-150 MW under projects of DTEK and Ukrainian companies cooperating with Fuhrlander. A significant rise in capacity is expected in the biofuel heat thermal generation sector – from the existing 68 MW to 150-200 MW," he said at a press conference on renewable energy at Interfax-Ukraine on Friday.
