Action Plan for Ukraine’s Energy System: Online discussion on Thursday, July 18th 2024!
As a result of Russia’s constant attacks on its energy sector, Ukraine suffers an ongoing severe energy shortage. Power outages are a daily occurrence. This makes life difficult for the population, endangers critical infrastructure with potentially catastrophic consequences and poses major challenges to the economy – and therefore to the defense capabilities.
In the new LibMod policy paper “Action Plan for Ukraine’s Energy System”, Ukrainian energy system expert Oleksandr Vizir outlines concrete proposals for improving the current situation for the winter of 2024/25 and the years to come. His analysis focuses on short-term measures addressing the most pressing problems within the limits of Ukraine’s available resources.
The proposed measures include:
- organizational measures (increase in electricity import capacity, strengthening corporate governance and internal control, promoting distributed generation also among foreign business owners in Ukraine, a reform of energy subsidies as well as many others);
- measures to cover debts (repayment of Energoatom’s debt, the debt to RES producers and to market participants on the balancing market);
- measures for the rapid development of new electricity and heating capacities (establishing of a single coordination center for the deployment of a new generation, simplifying the connection and commissioning of new generating facilities, installation of energy storage facilities in the subway in Kyjiw, Kharkiv, and Dnipro and many others).
