Energy in Ukraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Energy in Ukraine is mainly from gas and nuclear, followed by oil and coal.[1] Ukraine has a diversified energy mix, and no fuel takes up more than a third of the country’s energy sources. The coal industry has been disrupted by conflict.[2] Most gas and oil is imported, but since 2015 energy policy has prioritised diversifying energy supply.[1]

About half of electricity generation is nuclear and a quarter coal.[1] The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is located in Ukraine. Fossil fuel subsidies were USD 1.6 billion in 2021.[3] Until the 2010s all of Ukraine's nuclear fuel came from Russia, but now most does not.[4]
Ukraine’s gas network has a lot of storage, which can be useful for storing Europe’s gas to even out supply and demand,[5] and it formerly transited a lot of Russian natural gas to Europe but that agreement ends at the end of 2024.[6] Some energy infrastructure was destroyed in the Russo-Ukrainian War,[7][8] but wind farms and solar power are thought to be resilient because they are distributed.[9] An energy strategy to 2050 was adopted in 2023 but has not yet been published.[10]
