("Ukraine's Solar Energy Industry")
Evidence of this can be seen with Activ Solar. This Australian-based firm; is the owner of one of the largest solar power plants in all of Europe. At the same time, they have tremendous operations producing components for the facility.

Clearly, the Ukraine is the best location for GE to construct an alternative energy plant. This is because the country has a more favorable political situation, better tax policies and other firms who have been successful. These factors are highlighting its benefits in contrast with the Philippines. They are more unstable politically, as the nation needs to rebuild their infrastructure and reduce tax rates. This is why it is advisable for GE to build its facility in the Ukraine (which will help the company realize the true advantages that it has to offer).
