Appropriate investments are necessary for the development of the wind energy industry in Ukraine. The main volumes of investments are invested by Ukrainian national companies in the construction of wind power plants. Small wind energy is deve-loping at the expense of small investors and individual enthusiasts. It is also necessary to take into account the low purchasing power of the majority of the population, which requires the most accurate determination of the direction of investment in this industry in order to guarantee the return of funds to the investor. The issue of determining investment directions was considered in a number of works, where the analysis of the main structures of wind turbines was carried out and the power range of turbines, in which the consumer is most interested, was determined, namely from 1 kW to 10 kW. This range is too wide, as it includes installations that differ significantly in their functionality. To solve the problems, as in previous works, the method of paired comparisons was used and two groups of criteria were proposed for analysis. The first group includes criteria in which potential buyers are interested, i.e.: consumer interest in this wind turbine capacity; the possibility of installation without the use of transport and lifting equipment; the possibility of maintenance and minor repairs by the consumer; the possibility of accumulation. The second group of criteria includes criteria of interest to the investor: availability of technical documentation; availability of an experimental or experimental sample; availability of technologies and equipment for serial production. The choice of capacity segments was also determined and substantiated, namely: from 2 to 3 kW; from 3 to 4 kW; 4 to 6 kW and from 6 to 10 kW. Based on the comparative analysis, the 3 kW to 4 kW capacity segment, which is proposed for further investment, received the highest integrated score of 85,813. Bibl. 15, Tabl. 5.
