elcomUkraine 2011:
Major investment projects. Exports of electro-technology to Ukraine again on the upswing.
After being hit hard by the global economic crisis in 2008 and 2009, Ukraine is now back on its way up again. Ukrainian GDP went up by 5% in the first quarter of 2010. Another indicator: from January to April 2010, German companies, for instance, have increased their exports of electrical and electronic products to Ukraine by 34.2% compared with the same period in 2009, to now Euro 171.751 million.
Major projects are on the way. elcomUkraine 2011 exhibitors profit from a massive investment programme, including several billion US $ for the expansion of the electricity industry, the erection of wind-energy power plants and major industrial projects. A combination of ambitious housing programmes, projects such as metros and railway electrification, and the growth of energy-intensive industries mean that demand for electricity is expected to continue to grow in Ukraine. Capacity increases are therefore needed.
Therefore the Ukrainian market holds very interesting prospects, as underlined by Ubifrance for elcomUkraine:
- With an amount of 193 TWH of electric power generation in 2008, Ukraine ranks 12th on a global scale. Because of aged technologies, the country offers plenty of business opportunities in the energy-efficiency sector in order to reduce power consumption, which for the time being is twice as high as in Germany.
- The majority of the 28 Ukrainian power distributing enterprises as well as 1 out of 6 power generation suppliers have been successfully privatised.
- International funds have been attributed and allow the sector to develop: US $ 200 million for the modernisation of sub-stations and the extension of the energy distribution network until the year 2012; and US $ 106 for the modernisation of production capacities.
- The target to harmonise the Ukrainian energy network with the European UCTE-norms has been adopted within the “Energy Strategy 2030”.
It is against this backdrop of massive investments into the Ukrainian energy, building, construction and industrial sectors and a huge increase in demand for energy and electro-technology and automation equipment and solutions, that fairtrade and Euroindex organise elcomUkraine 2011, the 15th International Power and Electrical Engineering, Energy Efficiency and Industrial Automation Trade Fair.
