What is better for Ukraine: the nuclear power plant owned by the USA or Akhmetov - Yaroslav Romanchuk for Comments.ua

Ukrainian energy today is a complete bargain. According to Yaroslav Romanchuk, of course, all generation facilities should be in private and state ownership, because the state should determine the rules of the game, control the elements that are important for the entire generation, and already consumers choose whose energy is better. "Smart grids must appear - energy-smart networks that would give potential investors the answer to the question: what is best, and where is best to do it, under what conditions? Because the biggest element of uncertainty is this, and what will be the demand for electricity in the future? What will happen here in Ukraine? Maybe it will be data centres that are cheaper to build for the same Google, Amazon or other companies. Now the task is to create a strategy in which private companies would find their interests," the economist noted. And in order to create trust between the United States and the leadership of Ukraine, Yaroslav Romanchuk would suggest that the Americans buy or lease our nuclear facilities under certain conditions, because the appearance of American technicians in our energy market would certainly contribute to the improvement of trust and the development of the country. We must be so independent that such questions do not arise.
