Forum: Recovery and Investments in Ukraine's Energy Sector

Key questions:

• What specific amounts of damage to key infrastructure (generation, networks, GTS, UGS) require urgent restoration and what are the financial needs for this?
• What three key priorities do the Government and companies identify to ensure the stability of the power system next winter, and what contracts/deliveries/technologies are needed for this?
• How is the “Build Back Better” principle practically implemented? What protection and decentralization technologies are already being implemented, and where exactly is European expertise and equipment needed?
• What specific projects to increase gas production are the most promising for foreign investments and service companies in the next 1–2 years?
• What commercial models are offered to European traders for the use of Ukrainian UGS, and what investments can increase their attractiveness and security?
• What financial instruments (grants, loans, guarantees, risk insurance from the EBRD, EIB, etc.) are the most accessible and effective for Italian/European companies that want to enter restoration projects today?
• What recent changes in the regulatory field simplify the work of investors in the energy sector, and what main barriers still remain?
• What specific steps is Ukraine taking to fully integrate its electricity and gas markets (market coupling) with the European ones, and What new commercial opportunities (trading, investments in interconnectors) will this open up for businesses?

Key questions:

• What specific targets (RES, biomethane/hydrogen) are set in the updated Energy Strategy of Ukraine, and how do they correlate with EU plans (REPowerEU, Green Deal)?
• Which regions and types of RES (solar, wind) offer the best conditions for investment now, and what support mechanisms (auctions, PPAs) will be in place for new projects?
• What is a realistic amount of biomethane that Ukraine can produce and export by 2030, and what investments are needed in infrastructure (grid connections) and production?
• How does Ukraine plan to transform its gas transmission system, and how will this be integrated with the European Hydrogen Corridor and EU gas markets?
• What pilot projects in the areas of Smart Grids, energy storage, and digital solutions are already being implemented, and what opportunities for scaling exist for Italian/European technology companies?
• What additional guarantees (investment protection, rule of law, market transparency) can Ukraine offer to long-term investors?
• What energy efficiency programs (industry, housing and utilities) are prioritized, and what opportunities does this open up for ESCO companies and energy efficiency equipment manufacturers?

• The company LLC “Eurocape Ukraine Lviv”, which specializes in the development, construction and operation of electricity generation facilities from renovated generators Energy (VDE) is successfully developing a 100 MW wind power plant project in the Lviv region. The total budget for the project is close to 150 million euros.
• UA RENERGIES LLC, which specializes in the development of wind turbine facilities, has successfully developed a project involving the development of wind power plants at the inlet part Ukraine. The project’s budget is 360 million euros.
• AT “MDG”, which specializes in the development of wind power plants, has successfully completed the development of a project for the development of wind power plants in the western part of Ukraine. The project’s budget is 300 million euros.
