Virtual Coffee Chat: Renewable Energy Sector Updates, Turkey Ukraine Kazakhstan

Tuesday, May 18 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am • Organized By U.S. Department of Commerce/U.S. Commercial Service (U.S. Export Assistance Center)
Online Event

About

Join the U.S. Commercial Service for its second-in-series virtual Coffee Chats highlighting renewable energy business opportunities in Eurasia. This session will include market observations, business opportunities, and highlights within the industry from the newly released 2021 Energy Export Resource Guides.

 

Why Turkey? Wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric energy have great potential. Special power purchase guarantees are provided in the Renewable Energy Resource Zones (YEKA). Hybrid solutions, solar energy storage systems, off-shore wind, electric car charging stations have best prospects.

 

Why Ukraine?  Renewable energy generation is one of the key priorities for the Ukrainian energy sector. Their goal is to reach 25% of its total energy mix from renewable energy sources (RES) by 2035. Yet, by the end of 2020, it was only 12.4% opening up significant opportunity for U.S. exporters.

 

Why Kazakhstan?  The government is embarking on a energy transition and is seeking to diversify Kazakhstan’s energy mix. The National Green Growth Plan envisages an optimistic breakdown of 49.0% coal, 21.0% gas, 10.0% hydropower and 8.0% nuclear, alongside a sizeable renewables element.

 

Delve into over 45 country-specific reports, highlighting recent policy developments, market needs, the competitive landscape, and best prospects for U.S. energy companies in the 2021 Energy Export Resource Guides.
