Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Offices: Transparent Information for the Energy-Efficient Development of Communities
In light of current challenges caused by the full-scale war—particularly energy shortages and unstable power supply—decarbonization and energy efficiency have become critical issues for local communities. Ukrainian cities and villages are in urgent need of effective mechanisms to reduce energy consumption and ensure the resilience of their energy infrastructure.
Since 2024, the State Agency for Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE), in cooperation with local authorities, has launched regional Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Offices in eight regions across the country. These offices are already operating successfully in Kharkiv, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Mykolaiv, Rivne, Zhytomyr, and Odesa.
These offices serve as accessible hubs for information on modern energy-saving approaches, CO₂ emissions reduction, improving the energy efficiency of administrative, residential, and commercial buildings, as well as mechanisms for financial support to implement such projects.
The offices function as expert support centers for citizens, businesses, and organizations. Their mission is to make energy modernization and the transition to green energy accessible to everyone. They offer free consultations, share information about available support programs, and help identify effective solutions to reduce energy consumption.
“If you want to reduce your energy consumption, optimize your heating, electricity, and utility costs, improve the comfort and quality of life in your home, or boost the efficiency of your business — we invite you to contact your regional Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Office. We are here to make energy modernization real and accessible for all,”
said Roman Radchenko, Deputy Head of the Department of Regional Development and Administrative Services.
At the Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Offices, you can:
- Conduct an energy efficiency assessment of your home or business;
- Learn about the latest energy-saving technologies;
- Explore national and international support programs.
It’s important to emphasize that transparent access to information is vital for the country’s energy-efficient transformation. Only when everyone—regardless of where they live, their age, or education—has free access to clear information and practical solutions, can energy efficiency and green development become not just a privilege, but a real tool for positive change in every community!
