On 19 March 2026, the UWEA and the international consultancy NIRAS signed a Memorandum of Understanding aimed at advancing renewable energy development and supporting Ukraine’s green recovery.
The partnership will focus on:
Jesper Karup Pedersen, Market Director Ukraine, NIRAS: “I am very pleased that we are signing this Memorandum of Understanding today. There are two reasons for this. First, wind energy plays and will continue to play a crucial role in Ukraine’s future. Second, UWEA is a reliable partner for us and, I hope, will become an even stronger partner going forward.”
Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the Board, UWEA: “I am very grateful to NIRAS and personally to Jesper Pedersen for signing this important Memorandum today. I understand that this is only the beginning of our cooperation. At the same time, collaboration with such a strong Danish organisation as NIRAS can significantly contribute not only to the recovery of Ukraine’s energy sector, but also to building a fundamentally new architecture of the national energy system. We aim to fully leverage Denmark’s experience and apply it within Ukraine’s context.”
The MoU lays the foundation for structured cooperation in key areas, including distributed generation, integration of renewables and energy storage, and preparation of investment-ready projects for international financial institutions.
This partnership marks another important step towards building a resilient, modern, and EU-integrated energy system in Ukraine. UWEA expresses its sincere appreciation to NIRAS for its trust and partnership and looks forward to a productive and long-term cooperation!
