On June 24, 2026, as part of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk, a panel discussion titled “From Resilience to Recovery: Energy Systems, Human Capital and Investment for Ukraine” was held, organized by UNDP.
The event focused on Ukraine’s recovery through strengthening energy infrastructure, developing human capital, and stimulating investment. Participants discussed practical solutions for sustainable reconstruction and enhancing the country’s energy security.
Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA), took part in the panel discussion dedicated to the role of distributed generation (particularly wind energy) in Ukraine’s energy resilience. During his speech, he noted:
“Despite the prolonged war and the fact that 56% of our pre-war wind power capacity remains in temporarily occupied territories, Ukraine’s wind energy sector continues to demonstrate resilience. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, 703 MW of new wind capacity has been commissioned in Ukraine. As of today, the wind energy project pipeline for 2027–2033 exceeds 10 GW of capacity.”
UWEA expresses its gratitude to the UNDP Green Energy Recovery Programme for organizing this nationally important event. We sincerely thank all participants for the constructive discussion and joint efforts in identifying effective solutions to strengthen Ukraine’s energy security.
