Formation of institutional components of cooperative development of alternative energy in the agricultural sector of economy

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to characterize the role of "green" cooperatives in the formation of institutional components of the development of alternative energy in the agricultural sector of the economy. Research methods. The article uses such a theoretical method as generalization during the study of the essence of the category of "green" energy cooperative. As well as the method of analysis in the process of considering the current state of development of alternative energy in Ukraine. In addition, an explanation method was used to study the role of "green" energy cooperatives in the development of alternative energy. Research results. The basic concept of "cooperation" and the derivative "energy cooperative" from the point of view of various authors are considered, the own explanation of the term "green" energy cooperative is given. The state of development of alternative energy in Ukraine is described. The trends of energy consumption based on renewable sources in the country for 2013-2018 are analyzed, according to which the share of energy supply from renewable sources is growing every year in 2018 with a rate of 4.6%. Motivations for active construction of solar power plants with the largest number of such in Dnipropetrovsk and Ternopil regions were noted. The institutional components of the development of alternative energy are noted, the emphasis is on "green" cooperatives. The main normative legal acts, ie formal institutions regulating renewable energy in the country, namely laws, orders, strategies are considered. An element of the institutional mechanism, such as organizations that control and structure the process of development of alternative energy sources, including in the agricultural sector of the economy, is analyzed. An example of successful experience of foreign countries in "green" energy cooperation, including the United Kingdom and Germany. Scientific novelty. The own explanation of the category "green" energy cooperatives "is formed. The importance of energy cooperatives in the development of the "green economy" in the agricultural sector of the economy is proved. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used to accelerate the further active development of "green" energy cooperatives, which will have a significant impact on increasing the production and consumption of alternative energy sources in rural areas, as well as reducing energy costs by farms and private farms.

Mechanism for the Formation and Implementation of HR Policy: The Global Experience

“…In fact, through the training process organised for employees, American companies try to optimise production, achieve the lowest possible costs while maintaining the high quality of the final product (Shpykuliak & Mazur, 2014;Zayukov et al, 2024). Additional requirements include the participation of employees in training sessions where they are taught interpersonal communication.…”

Sustainable Development of Territorial Communities in the Vinnytsia Region

“…Therefore, methodologically, we again draw attention to the problem of institutional regulation of entrepreneurial activity. This topic requires further development and improvement, in particular in terms of projection on institutional changes that are constantly taking place and require improvement of institutional regulation factors [18]. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that research developments in the field of institutional regulation, development of the agricultural sector, rural areas, communities and entrepreneurship are quite wide-ranging [18 -62].…”

“…The contours of the institutional model of the agricultural sector are gradually emerging, because if you focus on the trends of the EU countries, then now ecological and organic products are most noted there in ensuring the health of nations. The production of organic products is an important area for investment in Ukraine, as it follows the potential for growth and development [42].…”

“…At the moment, the issue of the environmental situation in the world is acute. This problem has led the world community to a dead end, since the resource potential of the planet can meet its needs only until 2050, and then there is a global economic, social and natural resource crisis [45].…”

International experience in the use of alternative energy sources (within the European Union)

“…This gives grounds to argue that other countries are creating systems for the proper use of alternative resources in the industrial use of green energy(Wehrmann, 2019). Civil society is actively involved in the development of renewable energy in the country, in particular through the creation of energy cooperatives(Shpykuliak & Ivanchenko, 2018). This contributes to the decentralisation of the industry and, in particular, helps to fight monopolists in this area.Notably, in 2021 Germany added approximately 5.3 MW of solar photovoltaic capacity, up 10% from 2020.…”
