Ukrainian Association Of Renewable Energy

What Ukrainian Association Of Renewable Energy does

The Ukrainian Association of Renewable Energy (UARE) is a Kyiv-based non-governmental, non-profit industry association founded in 2014 (Identification Code 39425040) that coordinates the interests of Ukraine's renewable energy market participants and represents them before the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers, the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities (NKREKP), and local authorities. It rebranded from its original name 'Ukrainian Association of Renewable Energy Electroenergetics' shortly after founding to broaden its scope beyond electroenergetics to all RES verticals. Membership is open to companies with operational or under-construction renewable energy facilities, and the association lists approximately 18 member companies and groups spanning solar (Tokmak Solar Energy, Teplodar PV, UDP Renewables, Bohorodchany-1), small hydro (Energoinvest, Hydroenergoinvest, Energy-1, BTK Edelweiss, Aquanova Investment, Energy of Carpathians), diversified RES groups (Rener Group, Ukrteplo Group, Elementum Energy, CleanEnergy), and adjacent technology integrators (DroneUA, LIG AGRO, LNK, Rengy Development Group).

UARE's commercial offerings are limited to non-commercial member services rather than products. It operates a Knowledge Library aggregating reference reports from REN21, IRENA, IEA, the World Bank and Bloomberg alongside Ukraine-specific legislation and green tariff data. It publishes a public-facing Private Solar Power Plant Calculator (a rule-based financial feasibility tool hosted at uare.com.ua/ua/443-calc-ua), accepts applications for membership, organizes and participates in industry forums, and issues media commentary on regulatory decisions. The association is governed by a Congress and a Council, with two formalized leadership roles — Head of the Council (external representation) and Head of the Association (executive lead) — both appointed by the Council; as of late 2024 the Head of the Association position is being filled via open application.

The association's revenue model is the standard not-for-profit association mechanism: a one-time entry fee and recurring monthly membership dues, supplemented by passive income permitted under Ukrainian tax law, government grants and subsidies, arbitration fees, and proceeds from educational events such as lectures, seminars, conferences and trainings. Specific fee amounts are not publicly disclosed and are set by the Board/Council. The association has 11–50 employees, operates a single national footprint within Ukraine (registered at 03040 Kyiv, Vasylkivska Street 1; operational address 04070 Kyiv, Voloska Street 31A, office 4), and has no disclosed subsidiaries, parent entity, institutional investors, or merger and acquisition history.
