Energy in Ukraine

In 2011, Ukraine joined the European Energy Community, however there has been slow progress on implementing European energy regulations.{{cite web |url=https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/liberalizing-ukraines-electricity-market-benefits-and-risks |title=Liberalizing Ukraine's Electricity Market: Benefits and Risks |last=Prokip |first=Andrian |publisher=Wilson Center |date=6 May 2019 |access-date=2 August 2019}}

District heating has been attacked and significantly damaged.{{Cite web |date=2024-09-18 |title=Winter Heating Crisis: An Assessment of Ukraine's District Heating Needs and Damages, July 2024 - Ukraine {{!}} ReliefWeb |url=https://reliefweb.int/report/ukraine/winter-heating-crisis-assessment-ukraines-district-heating-needs-and-damages-july-2024 |access-date=2024-11-26 |website=reliefweb.int |language=en}} In 2024 the International Energy Agency (IEA) wrote about heat supply to Ukraine’s major cities. “Most attacks on heating infrastructure have occurred in regions close to the front lines. The Kharkiv region is now without large-scale heat generating capacity and other frontline regions – particularly Chernihiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy and Mykolaiv – have suffered severe damage to their heat generation capacities. Heat supply is also at risk in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv.”{{Cite report |url=https://www.iea.org/reports/ukraines-energy-security-and-the-coming-winter |title=Ukraine's Energy Security and the Coming Winter – Analysis |date=September 2024 |website=International Energy Agency}}

In 2024 the IEA recommended engaging consumers in energy saving and demand response, while continuing investments in energy efficiency. They said that “a social tariff that safeguards a certain volume of consumption at subsidised rates, after which consumers pay a higher price, would help to incentivise efficient practices and investments, supported by public information campaigns that advise on energy efficiency measures for immediate impact as well as longer-term gains. Lowering the default temperature for district heating can also provide quick savings.”

Ukraine signed a loan agreement in-principle for $3.65 billion with the China Development Bank in 2012, during President Viktor Yanukovich's term of office, contingent on the development of agreed projects in the coal and gas sectors. However, by 2017 Ukraine had not agreed any suitable projects due to a "lack of convergence in the positions of [Uglesintezgaz] and the energy ministry".{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-crisis-china-loan-exclusive-idUSKBN17G16A |title=Ukraine could miss out on up to $3.65 billion of China energy loans |author=Karin Strohecker, Pavel Polityuk |publisher=Reuters |date=14 April 2017 |access-date=18 April 2017}} Elementum Energy Ltd owns the most power plants.{{Cite web |date=2022-03-03 |title=Ukraine's energy security landscape mapped: where are the country's power plants located? |url=https://www.power-technology.com/features/ukraine-power-plants/ |access-date=2022-03-09 |website=Power Technology |language=en-US}}{{Request quotation|date=November 2024}}

In the winter of 2022–23 Russia targeted switchyards and transformers, but the following year they concentrated on power plants perhaps because they are harder to protect and take longer to repair.{{Cite news |title=Russia changes tack on targeting Ukraine's energy plants |url=https://www.ft.com/content/18882abd-6277-4aae-bc43-f3e5fa786445 |access-date=2024-04-12 |website=www.ft.com|date=8 April 2024 |last1=Koshiw |first1=Isobel }}
