Introduction. The key to the development of any country is the provision of energy carriers for production facilities and households. A number of problems are observed in the domestic energy industry, from unsatisfactory technical equipment to a shortage of exhaustible fuel resources. Russia's military aggression, the destruction of domestic energy facilities, the insufficient efficiency of the use of fuel and energy resources pose a threat to the national security of Ukraine. Also, a serious challenge for the country is the need to reduce CO2 emissions, as the world is on the verge of an environmental disaster. Today, renewable energy is given great importance, which in the future may even supplant traditional energy, because on February 24, 2022, the countdown began not only to Ukraine's military victory over the Russian invader, but also to its energy independence. During the bloody war, the value of renewable energy sources was transformed from more ecological to security and economic.
The purpose of the article is to determine the prospects and positive impact of the use of renewable energy sources in Ukraine. Method (methodology).
The methodological basis is made up of the fundamental provisions of the theory of public administration, which determines the regularities of the socio-economic development of the state, the formation and functioning of mechanisms of state regulation of the development of "green" energy.
The results. The article examines the issue of the development of renewable energy sources as the main factor of Ukraine's energy independence. The main aspects of the work of "green" energy on the objects of the energy infrastructure, which work on exhaustive sources of energy, have been determined. The advantages of the development of renewable energy during the war, in the context of economic threats, price policy, blackouts, etc., are considered. It was determined that the war has a significant negative impact on the work of the Ukrainian energy industry, because due to its economic, humanitarian and geopolitical importance, energy infrastructure objects are particularly frequent targets of Russian aggression. It has been studied that the implementation of wind, solar, bio- and hydropower preserves the thermal balance of the planet, there is no additional emission of carbon dioxide, and more favorable ecological conditions for life on the planet have been created. The main energy issues in Ukraine are singled out: hostilities, occupation of territories with energy facilities, destruction and shutdown of energy infrastructure facilities, financial crisis, suspension of construction of new renewable energy sources in Ukraine, etc. The state of the energy industry is determined, taking into account damage and losses of energy infrastructure facilities. Attention is focused on the restoration and construction of new RES in Ukraine. Attention is focused on measures to support and develop the energy industry using the principles of "green" energy.
Conclusions. Solving these problems requires the implementation of the following measures: reconstruction of damaged and destroyed renewable energy facilities, payment of debt to producers of "green" electricity, support for domestic production of equipment for "green" energy facilities. Ukraine has a great potential for replacing energy resources with renewable generation, but military operations on the territory of the country stand in the way. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained results by state authorities in the process of developing the legislative framework in the field of green energy.
