Arseniy Yatsenyuk urges international community to invest into modernization of Ukraine's energy sector and energy efficiency
It is crucial to urgently
launch energy efficiency programs for Ukrainian citizens: “The less they
consume, the lower bills they will get,” Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy
Yatsenyuk stressed during the International Support for Ukraine conference on
Tuesday, April 28, in Kyiv.
He accentuated that
Ukraine consumes enormous amount of energy: "This is rather a huge burden
for the State budget, but what is worse - that is a very heavy burden for the
Ukrainians, for their pockets. And we can eliminate this burden through implementation
of energy efficiency programs".
"This is the target
for the Government and this should be the key for our joint investment,"
he said.
The Prime Minister appealed
to the western partners: "You have perfect investment projects, you have an
experience. This is the right time to invest into Ukrainian energy modernization
and energy efficiency.
