Abstract
The main goal of this study is to show the performance of the indicators under 4 integrated main groups by using the multifactorial analysis methodology in the light of the selected indicators, by drawing attention to the integration of the energy network, which Ukraine has developed in line with the sustainable development goals, in the field of the energy economy, which has been planned with the European Union. Observing these performances is among the aims of the author’s research to draw attention to the importance of reform steps Ukraine has taken in line with its sustainable development goals and these reforms will be expected a positive impact on the country’s accession to the EU. 17 sustainable development goals developed by UNDP, where efficiency and innovation are imperative, focus on the improvement of countries and play a role in the formation of the indicators and groups of this study. According to the results of the study, it is observed that the indicators selected for Ukraine are linked to the data used in line with the country’s common goals with the EU and 2035 energy targets, as observed in the analysis results in integrated groups. The ambition of this study, which focuses on the development of Ukraine, is aimed by the author to offer an alternative and strategic perspective to small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (SMEs) in the energy sector.
