Ukraine's energy systems have suffered significant damage since the full-scale invasion of 2022. As of spring 2024, two thirds of the country's dispatchable power generation capacity has fallen under occupation, been damaged or destroyed. This has been accompanied by a coordinated destruction of the grid network.
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 2022.
While the individual generation capacity of solar modules and individual turbines is low, if bonded together using Ukraine's extensive distribution grid they become even more resilient. In grids, there is resilience in numbers. A decentralised energy generation system is highly resilient and capable of guaranteeing sustained energy security.
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.

In 2025 Ukraine deployed around 1.5 GW of new solar capacity driven by strong interest in co-located battery energy storage systems. BasenPower breaks down the key drivers, policy
Yuliana Onishchuk, founder of Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation, a nonprofit building behind-the-meter solar and storage systems across the country, thinks decentralization is necessary
The ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine''s energy infrastructure are causing massive power outages. Ukraine''s electricity system is on the brink of collapse, with approximately 70% of its
DTEK selects Fluence to install 200 MW/400 MWh battery storage at six Ukrainian sites, boosting grid stability and energy independence.
Why Ukraine''s Energy Crisis Demands Immediate Storage Solutions As of March 2025, over 60% of Ukraine''s pre-war power generation capacity remains offline due to sustained infrastructure attacks.
Currently, Ukraine only has one certified industrial-scale energy storage facility, which is located in a temporarily occupied territory due to a full-scale invasion. The modeling results offer
Most of the development in Ukraine''s battery energy storage system (BESS) market since 2022 has indeed happened on a small scale. Many small off-grid BESSs were installed by
In the spring of 2025, Ukraine''s energy sector finds itself at a crossroads. Underneath the constant hum of reconstruction and the lingering threat of war, a quiet revolution is unfolding: the
Ukrainian private utility DTEK has energised the largest battery storage project in the war-torn country and one of the biggest ones in Eastern Europe. The 200 MW/400 MWh installation
