Abstract
The article focuses on the research of hydropower in
Ukraine: its current state, problems, possible ways to solve them
and prospects for development. The relevance of this research
refers to the importance of a comprehensive study of
hydropower in Ukraine as the main component of green energy,
as well as the potential for the development of hydropower in
the conditions of the future post-war rebuilding of Ukraine. The
main research goal is to define a complex of organizational and
economic instruments to stimulate the development of
hydropower in Ukraine and to ensure the rational use of
hydropower potential. The core research methods are analysis,
comparison, systematic approach, dialectical method, methods
of abstraction and concretization, mathematical and statistical
methods, etc. The terminological content of the concept and
peculiarities of use and protection of water resources are
characterized. The growth of their scarcity for household and
agro-industrial needs of Ukraine is shown. The peculiarities of
the development of hydropower as a branch of energy, which
provides a principle of operation based on the use of water
energy, have been studied. Weak and strong points,
opportunities, and threats to the development of hydropower
have been identified. The main prospects for the development
of the hydropower industry in Ukraine are analyzed. All
possible aspects of development are divided into two groups:
effective environmental management of water bodies and costeffective
environmental use of hydropower potential. Each of
these areas is analyzed in the context of state policy and water
policy of the largest representative of the hydropower industry.
The main recommendations for the development of hydropower
in Ukraine are offered, aimed at solving the problems of water
management and economically justified environmental use of
the hydropower potential of Ukraine.
