State banks not ready to finance RES generation at feed-in tariff until situation with payments settled 3 min read Ukrainian banks are not ready to resume financing of new renewable energy generation projects due to the situation with non-payments, Andriy Konechenkov, the chairman of the board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association, has said. "In the spring of this year, we took the initiative, wrote to Ukrgasbank, Ukreximbank, Oschadbank and PrivatBank, since there were many questions about how the projects that received a building permit will be financed further. The answer we received was as follows: we are interested in the development of "green" energy, but given the situation with non-payments, we are forced to stop further financing," Konechenkov said in a commentary to the Energy Reform portal on the sidelines of a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine on the problems of development of renewable energy sources.
