The NGO “Ukrainian Sustainable Energy Center” (USEC) is a non-profit public organization established on a voluntary basis and unites citizens based on the common interests of its members to implement the following goals and objectives.
The goal (objective) of USEC is to create a platform for promoting innovative technologies and supporting investments in sustainable energy projects in Ukraine, promoting economic growth of society, environmental protection and social justice, ensuring stable energy supply for both current and future generations through the widest possible use of renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency and minimizing the impact of fossil energy sources on the environment.
The main task of the organization is to protect public interests based on the following principles:
- Meeting today’s energy needs without harming the future. The energy we use now should not deplete resources and harm future generations.
- Interconnection. Energy sustainability is closely linked to sustainable development, encompassing economic, social and environmental aspects.
- Renewable energy. Energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal play a crucial role in achieving energy sustainability.
- Energy efficiency. Reducing energy consumption through efficient technologies and practices is vital (this includes optimizing energy use in buildings, transport and industrial processes).
- Environmental protection. Minimizing the environmental impact of energy production and consumption is a key aspect, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.
- Social equality. Ensuring access to affordable and reliable energy for all, including vulnerable groups.
- Long-term thinking. Sustainable energy requires a transition from short-term solutions to long-term planning and investment in energy systems.
We work to build public and state support for energy transition, but also in designing solutions that will build local capacity, improve policies and regulations, and increase finance for energy projects. Reliable energy systems are the foundation of a modern economy, providing broad opportunities for the development of society. Improving access to sufficient amounts of affordable and clean energy will contribute to increasing GDP and help overcome the existing economic gap with leading countries in the world.
The organization is officially registered in Ukraine (EDRPOU code XXXXXX).
