KYIV, Nov 8 – Ukraine needs to quickly add 2GW of maneuverable electricity generating facilities to balance the Ukrainian power grid in the conditions of the rapidly growing renewable energy sector, which will require around EUR 1.2-1.4 billion, Business Development Director at Wärtsilä Energy business in Eastern Europe Igor Petrik has said.

"The introduction of 2 GW of highly maneuverable generating capacities gives the highest economic effect for the power system," he wrote in an article published on the Energy Reform resource.
