The Ukrainian Energy System: Current Needs and Strategic Development A functioning energy system is the basis for a functioning society and economy. Ukraine's energy system was and is under constant stress due to the destruction caused by the Russian war and requires constant repair and protection. At the same time, the country was connected to the European electricity grid in spring 2022.
The panel will discuss the current short-term challenges and solutions, but will also take a strategic look ahead: How can the capacity for electricity and heat production be maintained and expanded under conditions of constant uncertainty?
