Abstract

Integration aspirations, integrating green energy into socioeconomic processes is essential for further sustainable development. The purpose of this study is to characterize the main legal aspects of the green transition in Ukraine. An analysis of modern legislative acts and relevant literature was conducted. The collection of sources is formed based on the PRISMA approach. A total of 59 sources were processed. The 7 post-2022 legislative acts analysis shows Ukraine is focusing on renewable energy sources (RES) auctions and energy storage. The research used the method of comparative analysis. The results determined that the legal regulation of RES in Ukrainian realities is related to the European integration of Ukraine and the consequences of Russian aggression. A list of strategies and main legal rules regulating green energy and RES is also defined. RES’s significant role in forming sustainable economic development is also characterized. The conclusions indicate a direct impact of renewable energy on ensuring the stable growth of the energy sector of Ukraine, through mechanisms for ensuring energy sustainability and the future sustainable development of the economy.
