The aim of this study is to provide an overview on the state of Ukraine’s energy sector before the war, assess the impact of the war on its energy infrastructure, and explore its potential for renewable energy sources—solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower—as well as nuclear, natural gas, and hydrogen. Based on this, it will identify opportunities for V4 countries to collaborate with and support the reconstruction of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, with particular emphasis on clean technologies that will go the furthest towards ensuring Ukraine’s resilient, competitive and Independent energy system of the future.
This study operates under the scenario that the war in Ukraine has ended favourably on its terms; free of the immediate constraints of conflict and continuing its pro-Western EU integration pathway opening the door to strategic investments in energy infrastructure.

It should be in the interest of V4 countries to take a leading role in supporting Ukraine’s EU accession and shaping its reconstruction process, particularly in the areas of energy and climate, since Ukraine’s integration provides opportunities to enhance regional stability and create new economic opportunities.

Prepared within the framework of the V4ETTP project.
