ORGANIZATIONAL AND ECONOMIC MECHANISM OF RATIONAL USE OF RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF WATER OBJECTS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL

Abstract

One of the promising areas for the development of renewable energy in Ukraine could be the expansion of the small hydroelectric power plant (HPP). The main obstacle to this is the absence of a sharp increase in the profitability of such facilities, since the operation of small hydropower facilities is based on the use of only one of their resource function, which is not consistent with the need to intensify the use of nature and integrated use of natural resources. The most expedient direction of increasing the efficiency of functioning of small hydropower facilities, increasing their economic, social and ecological significance is the organization of regional natural-economic complexes (RPGK) whose activity is based on the combination of electricity production, maintaining the sustainability of the recreation ecosystem, can significantly increase their market value. Also important is the issue of software to solve this problem.
