On 19 May 2026, the international online webinar “Energy Industry in Ukraine” took place, organised by the Embassy of Italy in Ukraine, the Italian Trade Agency and the General Confederation of Italian Industry (Confindustria) in cooperation with the Italian association ANIE. The Ukrainian Wind Energy Association was represented at the event by Yevhenii Kontorshchykov, Head of the Analytical Department, with the presentation “Wind Energy as a Key Component of Ukraine’s Power System”.
Despite the unprecedented challenges caused by the Russian invasion, Ukraine’s wind energy sector continues to grow: since the beginning of 2022, 573 MW of new capacity has been commissioned, and total installed capacity has reached 2.2 GW. Given the state’s strategic goal of reaching 6.2 GW of wind generation by 2030, the Ukrainian market opens up broad prospects for Italian partners, who have access to various avenues of cooperation: from developing greenfield projects and creating joint ventures to acquiring ready-made assets. In addition, the large-scale expansion of the sector creates high demand for services across the entire supply chain — from engineering and construction to specialised logistics and maintenance.
“The war has not stopped investment, and the record 324.4 MW of new capacity in 2025 is the best proof of developers’ confidence in our market. Ukraine will require a large-scale reconstruction of its power system, in which wind energy is regarded as one of the key technologies. We invite Italian businesses to join the partnership now, so that together we can build a resilient European energy sector”, – Yevhenii Kontorshchykov noted during his speech.
We thank our Italian partners for their reliable support and their interest in restoring Ukraine’s energy infrastructure!
