On 7 July 2025, experts gathered at the Ukraine Crisis Media Center to present the study “Green Recovery”. This project is the result of the work of the visual agency Top Lead with the analytical support of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association and many partners. The study shows how renewable energy sources, in particular wind energy, can help Ukraine to become energy-independent, create new jobs and move closer to European standards of sustainable development.
Why is this important? Because green reconstruction is not only about ecology, but also about how to make our power system resilient, attract investment and support communities. And it is also a chance for Ukraine to show the world that we can rebuild better than it was before, on the “build back better” principle.
What did the experts say?
Yevhenii Kontorshchykov, UWEA analyst, explained why wind energy is one of the main tools for change:
“Wind energy is one of the key drivers of Ukraine’s green reconstruction. This study clearly shows that it is not only clean electricity, but also the decentralisation of the power system, which is critically important in today’s conditions. The development of wind parks means new jobs, especially in the regions, the attraction of long-term international investment and a significant contribution to the development of local communities. Ukraine possesses enormous wind potential, and our task, as a specialised association, is to facilitate its realisation as much as possible”.
In turn, Yevhen Lapchenko, Head of Regulatory Affairs at DTEK Renewables, added how decentralised energy can protect our country:
“DTEK Renewables sees green recovery as extremely important for Ukraine. After all, decentralised generation, in particular wind farms, as well as energy storage facilities, are capable of strengthening the country’s energy security. Due to their dispersal across a large territory, they make the power system more resilient to shelling. And it is precisely such studies that help to demonstrate the industry’s successes and the problems that must be overcome together in order to ensure the sustainable development of Ukrainian energy”.
What is in the study?
- On 28 pages, you will find clear information with infographics about:
- What green recovery is and how it can help Ukraine.
- How European integration accelerates the transition to green energy.
- What potential renewable energy sources (RES) have and what opportunities exist for investors.
- Where to find money for green projects – in Ukraine and abroad.
- Real examples of communities and companies that are already implementing sustainable solutions.
