Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the peculiarities of public procurement of “green”energy within the obligations of Ukraine to the EU and the WTO. The author gives special consideration to the debatable aspects of the use of requirements for the purchase of electricity from renewable sources in the technical specifications, which in international trade can lead to discrimination, since “green” electricity and electricity from traditional sources are different only in the methods and processes of its production, but are the same at the stage of consumption. The author makes suggestions on the implementation of public procurement of “green” electricity in Ukraine, taking into account the requirements of the obligations to the EU and the WTO. Key words: public procurement, electricity from renewable sources, technical specifications, environmental protection, EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, WTO Government Procurement Agreement.
