Can a decentralised electricity system empower Ukraine?

Hence, in context of the report Empowering Ukraine Through a Decentralised Electricity System, a pioneering, detailed and bottom-up approach was developed to create a new high-resolution dataset of capacity and generation potential for Ukraine.

Are distributed energy resources a solution to Ukraine's power deficit?

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, nearly two-thirds of Ukraine’s dispatchable power capacity has been occupied, damaged, or destroyed. The report highlights distributed energy resources (DERs) as a vital solution to address their power deficit while enhancing Ukraine’s energy security, resilience, and flexibility.

For the next winter, our analysis shows that with the political and necessary resources mobilized, and even without taking all the measures, Ukraine can get an additional 0.5 GW of import capacity, and by the winter 2025/26, it can be expanded further by 1.4 GW to

How much electricity does Ukraine need in the winter?

Winter electricity needs stood at 26 GWh. By the winter of 2023-2024, production had plummeted by over 50% to 17.8 GWh, while peak consumption dropped by almost 30% to 18.5 GWh (UNHR, 2024). To mitigate the impact, Ukraine has received emergency from Poland, Romania and Slovakia (Polityuk, 2024).

Can Ders help Ukraine's power system recover?

IEA analysis shows that a diverse mix of DERs offers a cost-effective and resilient path for Ukraine’s power system recovery. Urgent actions include deploying small gas turbines and DERs such as solar PV and batteries to address a projected 6 GW winter power deficit in 2024/2025.
