RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN PENAL INSTITUTIONS AS A COMPONENT OF UKRAINE'S ENERGY SECURITY

The results of the conducted study prove that the transition to using renewable energy sources and energy efficiency technologies will ensure Ukraine's energy independence and, as a result, a high level of energy security. It is shown that the presence of an autonomous network at the local level provides a number of advantages, ensures independence from the general energy supply system and contributes to increasing energy efficiency indicators. The economic and security expediency and necessity of implementing renewable energy sources in penal institutions are substantiated. This will provide an opportunity to ensure proper conditions of detention of persons in prisons, their medical care and personnel involved in this work in the context of energy threats caused by russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, as well as to improve the state of energy security and energy efficiency of penal institutions, creating conditions for their energy autonomy.
