Ukraine needs 2.2-2.7 GW of new distributed generation capacity. These figures are more than statistics – they are a challenge for those who think at scale. That is why international partners are already actively engaged: supplying equipment, identifying opportunities, investing, and launching new projects.
ECU, as a state-owned energy company, provides strategic support to investors interested in entering the Ukrainian market. At a meeting of the British Ukrainian Chamber Of Commerce (BUCC), Vitaly Butenko, CEO of ECU, shared insights on market-based management of new energy assets across different regions of Ukraine, key energy security challenges, and the evolving paradigm of distributed generation.
The core principle is clear: every new project must not only contribute to energy security, but also be economically viable. Sustainable, economically sound projects drive investment into the sector and build confidence among communities in long-term outcomes.
Guided by these principles, we have developed a state-backed market infrastructure for distributed generation and established the first state aggregated group, delivering maximum value for businesses and investors.
We thank BUCC and our British partners for their continued support of Ukraine’s energy sector. We remain committed to dialogue and cooperation to develop new generation capacity.
