– emphasized the need for the revival of the system of unified scientific and technical policy in electro-power engineering, experts cohesion in the implementation of practical implementation issues a New Energy Strategy for Ukraine in the transition conditions to a new electricity market;
– drew attention to the challenges that are associated with:
a) the systemic lagging of the transition of Ukraine from the standards of the former USSR to the IEC standards;
b) the unsystematic implementation of renewable energy sources in the conditions of the absence of prospects for the Generating Capacities Development, and first foremost Hydro Power Plants and Pumped Storage Power Plants;
c) the uncertainty with the lifetime extension and the new construction of the NPPs and TPPs;
d) the lack of the system work to increase the reliability of power supply, suspension of implementation of the technologies for the activities under the voltage;
e) the engaging to the projects of foreign experts as consultants.
Executive Director Zenyuk O. stressed that:
The Work Plan of the Public Association „СIGRE-Ukraine” / Ukrainian NC CIGRE for 2019 was drawn up taking into account the experience in 2018.

a) support of the domestic producer through, in particular – the introduction of amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement” as regards the use of the term “life cycle cost” contained in the EU Directive 2014/24 / EC concerning the definition of criteria for cost of procurement of goods and services to the cost of their complete life cycle – from the cost of repairs and maintenance to the cost of decommissioning (which for domestic goods is several times less than for imported ones);
b) the development of a new energy market, European integration, taking into account rigid environmental factors, and interstate balances;
c) the reasoned bringing to society of catastrophic consequences for energy, ecological and ecological safety from realization of proposals of ecological movements and separate scientists not only not to construct new Hydroelectric Power Plants, but also to shut off with the descent of water from reservoirs, to close Thermal and Nuclear power plants.
During the meeting the members / experts Bondarenko Yu., Kachalenko G., Kontorovich L., Krivitskyy V., Prystupchuk O., Svetelik O., Shpak O. and Sztefunyk J. made suggestions and comments to the Work Plan for 2019 that were summarized and took into account.
