Abstract

The article is devoted to investigation of the energy efficiency in Ukraine. The author aims to establish the current state of Ukraine energy efficiency and identify the potential of energy efficiency development. The object of research are following areas of energy efficiency in Ukraine: energy efficiency of the regions (including analysis of energy efficiency of the fields of activity, which is within the territorial units, namely agriculture, industry, services, housing sector and determine the total rate of energy efficiency in the region); energy efficiency of GDP of Ukraine compared to the same period of other countries; energy efficiency of building fund of Ukraine and energy efficiency of industries. We have found a significant nonconformance at all analyzed levels of energy efficiency to European and world levels in the presence of significant energy efficiency potential. The main barriers (which are both reserves) of energy efficiency in Ukraine are identified: imperfect legal framework, lack of sufficient incentive system for energy efficiency measures, obsolete equipment used in industry, physical aging of housing stock, dependence on exported energy resources, low awareness of population, lack of sufficient training in energy efficiency, lack of a unified database of energy use. Energy efficient development of Ukraine will be provided by eliminating these barriers.
