It is defined that in Ukraine there is a significant untapped potential for energy efficiency, which
requires accelerating the pace of modernization and development of renewable energy sources and
raises the issue of labor supply to the industry. It was emphasized that there are a number of opportunities
for the development of the energy sector of Ukraine related to the development of renewable
energy sources. It is underlined that the formation of territorial-industrial clusters in Ukraine
for the production of equipment for solar and wind energy with a closed production cycle forms
long-term prerequisites for socio-economic stability in the country and stimulates employment. It is
substantiated that an important reserve for increasing employment in Ukraine is to ensure the energy
efficiency of buildings. At the same time, it was noted that in the field of renewable energy and
energy efficiency in Ukraine there is a significant shortage of qualified technicians and specialists
in the field of innovative technologies, which confirms the importance of studying the problem of
labor support in the industry. It is determined that today the solution of the issue of labor supply
of the industry takes place mainly at the level of enterprises that invest in the development of their
