“The main areas of cooperation are renewable energy and energy efficiency. Today, I see a priority area for expanding our cooperation and the development of hydrogen energy," said the Acting Minister.

Olha Buslavets also said that the issue of energy efficiency is very important for the Ukrainian energy sector. Work on several projects of the Ukrainian-Danish Center is now unlocked.

Considerable attention was also paid to the development of wind energy, namely the construction of offshore wind farms. Since Denmark is one of the European leaders in the development of wind energy, including the construction of wind farms in the sea.

It is noted that Olha Buslavets agreed to the proposal of Mr. Mikkelsen to consider the possibilities of cooperation in this area.

Therefore, the Ministry of Energy welcomes the interest of Danish companies in the implementation of such projects in Ukraine and is ready to provide them with all-round support,” Olha Buslavets noted.
