What State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine does

The State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE / Державне агентство з енергоефективності та енергозбереження України) is a central executive body of Ukraine established in 2014 under the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and supervised by the Ministry of Energy. Headquartered in Kyiv with 51–100 employees, SAEE acts as Ukraine's national energy manager, coordinating state policy on energy efficiency, renewable energy, alternative fuels, biomethane, cogeneration, and decarbonization, and ensuring alignment with EU Association Agreement and Energy Community Treaty obligations. It operates official public registries for energy auditors, biomethane, alternative fuels, and qualified cogeneration installations, and administers technical regulation covering building energy certification and eco-design/energy labeling.

SAEE's core offering is a web-based government digital services platform that combines public registries, administrative services (certifications, qualifications, confirmations), and state support programs — most notably the "Warm Credits" residential program and the 5-7-9% preferential credit programs for SMEs financing solar, wind, energy storage, and biogas generation assets. The platform is built on electronic document management and open data publishing via data.gov.ua, with a dedicated Cybersecurity Sector and Digital Transformation Department.

SAEE's business model is non-commercial: it is funded through the State Budget of Ukraine and does not generate commercial revenue. Its activities are financed via budget allocations and, since January 1, 2024, the Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Transformation Fund (capitalized by ecological tax on CO2 emissions from stationary installations and state borrowings). The fund's lending operations are executed through a wholly-owned subsidiary, JSC Fund of Decarbonization of Ukraine (Акціонерне товариство "Фонд декарбонізації України"), which provides preferential credits, financial leasing, and factoring. SAEE distributes services through its central office, the saee.gov.ua portal, the Diia e-governance ecosystem, regional cooperation with local self-government bodies, and authorized state-owned banks. Customer segments include Ukrainian citizens and households, OSBBs and housing cooperatives, SMEs and FOPs, and state and local government bodies.
