FINANCING OF PROJECTS OF USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

Abstract

Urgency of the research. The issues of the use of renewable energy sources have the most active and positive impact on resolving three global humanity issues: energy, ecology, and food. Target of setting. Against the backdrop of rapid increase of population of the Earth and growth of world GDP, catastrophic depletion of natural capital takes place. To avoid such negative consequences is possible on condition of providing of global sustainable development and use of alternative energy. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. In scientific and expert communities the questions of the development of RES are paid the most careful attention regardless of their significance in the context of economy, ecology and energy safety. There are many works of local scientists (О. M. Gudima, D. V. Zerkalov, L. L. Tovagnyanski, S. B. Tulub, A. І. Shevzov, А. K. Shidlovski, T. E. Yasnuk), who made a considerable scien-tific contribution to development of RES. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. Statistics of RES remains very fragmented and heterogeneous in terms of the set of indexes and methods of their calculation. Present researches on the development of RES as energy efficiency tool, usually don’t touch a question of their comparative cost and terms of implementation of new technologies. The of research objective. The aim of the research is profound study of financing of projects of use of RES, justification of aggregated financial instruments, that help to overcome certain investment barriers in the field of renewable energy. The statement of basic materials. In the article it is justi-fied that viability of projects of renewable energy sources largely depends on market risks, that are the result of political framework conditions and limited knowledge in terms of new technologies, that is expressed in the increase of capital cost. Conclusions. Tendencies require review of energy paradigm, moving away from the system of domination of several large energy supply objects to a lot of distributed energy systems, where consumer of electric power is a producer, and at the same time identifies and controls by himself how and where energy is consumed.
