Open Energy Transition conducted the study behind the report.


Under Russia’s invasion, 60% of Ukraine’s power system capacity remains occupied, damaged, or destroyed, and the bombardments weaken the remaining coal, hydro and nuclear capacities. A new report by Instrat think-tank, based on the PyPSA-UA power system model, shows that Ukraine faces an unprecedented challenge, requiring the installation of 5.4 GW of new capacity within the next two years and 9.2 GW more across 2027-2030. Decisive government actions are essential to unlock the necessary investment and accelerate deployment.
