IMPACT OF NEW RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY GENERATING CAPACITIES ON EMPLOYMENT IN UKRAINE IN 2021-2030

The paper estimates the impact of pursuing two scenarios new renewable electricity generating capacities installation in Ukraine. Under first scenario, 21% from energy sources is expected to be generated until 2030, which relatively reflects current trend capacities, while under second scenario this figure reach 30%. To assess employment effect, method factors was used.
