Key lessons for energy sector designing and policy response during wartime 1.1. Energy sector of Ukraine before the full-scale invasion: power sector Renewable energy sources – solar, wind, biogas, small hydro (14%). Ukraine has one of the highest shares of carbon-neutral generation in Europe.
Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe (she/her) said; “I commend Energy Act for Ukraine on their achievement of installing 22 solar PV projects in Ukraine during wartime. These projects provide stable electricity to hospitals and schools, helping people and offering a ray of hope.
Impact of war on the energy infrastructure: oil & gas sector The eastern region of Ukraine, the largest in terms of gas extraction, came under the threat of occupation and heavy shelling, leading to a reduction in production. Companies operated sometimes despite physical threat, some wells were captured.
Solar power, as the most easily deployable clean energy source, has been key to supporting Ukraine in times of crisis, helping to maintain energy access amid disruptions. Solar power will be crucial for rebuilding the country, ensuring lasting energy security.
The future of industrial energy autonomy will likely combine solar, storage, and possibly gas, underpinned by efficiency measures. Bottom line: In wartime Ukraine, energy decisions are not
