UWEA Expands Its Mandate to Include Distributed Generation And Energy Storage Systems

At its meeting on 25 March 2025, the Board of the UWEA adopted several important amendments to the Association’s Statute. One of the key decisions was to expand UWEA’s scope of activity to include the distributed generation in particular energy storage systems (ESS).

This strategic move is driven by the rapid development of the energy storage market in Ukraine and the growing involvement of UWEA member companies in projects that integrate storage technologies. In today’s energy landscape, such solutions are becoming a vital component of a decentralised, sustainable, and flexible energy architecture.

The expansion of UWEA’s mandate will allow the Association to:

• Provide expert support to stakeholders in the ESS segment;
• Represent their interests in dialogue with government bodies, the national Regulator, and international partners;
• Support the development of market conditions for integrating energy storage into the broader energy system;
• Attract investment and technical expertise to foster the growth of distributed renewable generation.

“We are witnessing a rapid transformation of Ukraine’s energy landscape. Wind power, as a key pillar of renewable generation, is increasingly integrated with energy storage solutions. This is not only a technological trend but a strategic necessity for enhancing Ukraine’s energy security. UWEA is evolving in step with these challenges and stands ready to support stakeholders in this emerging market professionally,” - said Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board.

UWEA will continue to serve as a trusted platform for uniting leading market players and advancing the development of Ukraine's resilient and sustainable energy sector.
