Ukraine is making a “strategic shift” toward distributed energy resources. In the two and a half years since Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine’s energy system has been a regular target, with attacks on thermal and hydro assets, substations, and solar units.
Ukraine is making a “strategic shift” toward distributed energy resources. In the two and a half years since Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine’s energy system has been a regular target, with attacks on thermal and hydro assets, substations, and solar units.
Russia’s constant bombing of Ukraine’s power grid has sparked a groundswell of innovation in clean, reliable energy across the country—from building microgrids to solar power stations. Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia has persistently targeted attacks on power grids and energy.
To support this, UNEP and IRENA have launched a multi-year, multi-city, Local Integrated Energy Systems programme in Ukraine, with support from the Government of Italy. The initiative focuses on shifting reconstruction and future investment toward sustainable, local energy systems—such as clean.
ZHASHKIV, Ukraine -- Vadym Kolisnyk stands on a rooftop on the eastern edge of Zhashkiv. It’s the end of February, and the dark and fog that shroud central Ukraine for much of the winter have broken. The sun has returned to Cherkasy Oblast. This is good news for Kolisnyk, for whom the sun is money.
The completed project in Chortkiv is the first solar energy project implemented by Nefco to support critical infrastructure in Ukraine. The solar power plants were officially commissioned on 23 September 2025 with all involved project partners present in the city. Читати історію українською мовою.
Ukraine faces a massive energy crisis. The Russian invasion destroyed much of the country’s power grid, leaving millions without electricity. Traditional energy sources have become unreliable, dangerous, and expensive. Many communities struggle with frequent blackouts and rising energy costs.
More than ever, Ukraine needs support to transition towards a long-term energy system that is resilient, flexible and secure. The EU has the expertise, the ability and the will to help make that happen. Ukraine's energy systems have suffered significant damage since the full-scale invasion of 20
