Abstract
The aim of the article is to identify promising directions for increasing energy efficiency in the household sector of Ukraine, focusing on green energy. The study involved a graphical, analytical and prognostic methods, in particular the trend analysis of polynomial regression. The study was based on data on the volumes of generation, RES (renewable energy sources) consumption, and the tariff for renewable energy for 2014-2022. The forecast covered a period of 8 quarters. Solar power plants are the most popular renewable energy source among households. The high tariff for the sale of such energy and the ease of installation of solar power plants are key factors in choosing this method of generating electricity from renewable sources. Household solar power plants account for 11% of the total solar power plant capacity in the country. The number and capacity of these plants are predicted to double every 2 years, which will ensure a proportional increase in household income from the sale of electricity generated by solar power plants. The results of the study open up prospects for studying the payback terms and economic efficiency of using different sources of renewable energy in different regions of Ukraine, which is especially important for households and utilities.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Environmental Management and Tourism is an interdisciplinary research journal, aimed to publish articles and original research papers that should contribute to the development of both experimental and theoretical nature in the field of Environmental Management and Tourism Sciences. Journal will publish original research and seeks to cover a wide range of topics regarding environmental management and engineering, environmental management and health, environmental chemistry, environmental protection technologies (water, air, soil), pollution reduction at source and waste minimization, energy and environment, modeling, simulation and optimization for environmental protection; environmental biotechnology, environmental education and sustainable development, environmental strategies and policies, etc. This topic may include the fields indicated above, but are not limited to these. Authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original works that discuss the latest developments in environmental management research and application with the certain scope to share experiences and research findings and to stimulate more ideas and useful insights regarding current best-practices and future directions in Environmental Management.
