The prospects of the Ukrainian energy sector were presented by the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Halushchenko. On the first day of the Conference, he took part in the break-out session "Environmental recovery: going green and achieving energy security", where he emphasized the need to rebuild destroyed Ukrainian cities using new carbon-free technologies, creating the so-called «cities of the future», and called on foreign partners to join the relevant investment.
After all, the full-scale invasion of the russian federation on the territory of Ukraine led to significant destruction of infrastructure and thumping damages, which are estimated at billions. Thus, according to the Minister, about 30% of solar generation capacity, about 90% of wind generation capacity, 30.1% of cogeneration plants and thermal power plants are now destroyed or occupied, power grids suffer significant losses. Furthermore, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe – Zaporizhzhya, whose capacity generated more than 20% of the total amount of electricity in the country before the beginning of the russian invasion – has also been captured.
