On 21 October 2025, an online meeting of the Board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association took place, chaired by Board Chairman Andriy Konechenkov. During the meeting, the interim results of the Association’s activity for the year and, separately, for the third quarter of 2025 were summed up, the key directions for the industry’s development were identified, and plans for UWEA’s further work in the context of the new challenges of Ukraine’s energy sector were presented.
The Board Chairman noted that in 2025, 35 new members joined UWEA, representing various links in the wind energy chain. “The growth in the number of members and the involvement of new partners testifies to a steady interest in the industry, — emphasised Andriy Konechenkov. — We see that even under the difficult conditions of war, the market not only maintains its activity, but is also expanding thanks to the interest of non-core investors who regard renewable energy as a promising direction for Ukraine’s sustainable development”.
Updating the Statute and strengthening institutional capacity
One of the key results of the third quarter was the introduction of amendments to the UWEA Statute, which expand the Association’s scope of activity to the energy storage systems segment. This step is strategic, since it is precisely the combination of wind energy and energy storage technologies that defines the future of resilient and flexible power systems.
The updated version of the Statute also takes into account the requirements of the Law of Ukraine No. 3606-IX “On Lobbying”, which confirms UWEA’s commitment to transparent, responsible and ethical activity in representing the interests of the industry.
In parallel, UWEA is completing the development of an updated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which will become a practical tool for implementing high standards of corporate culture, integrity and partnership among the Association’s members.
Personnel changes on the Board
As part of the meeting, the scheduled re-election of the First Deputy Chairman of the UWEA Board, which is held every two years, also took place.
Ivan Bondarchuk, a Board member from the company LCF, was elected to this position, replacing Oleksandr Podpruhin, a Board member from the company Notus Energy.
The Association extends its sincere gratitude to Oleksandr Podpruhin for his many years of active participation in the development of the community, his support of initiatives and his constructive cooperation.
We wish Ivan Bondarchuk fruitful work, new ideas and inspiration in strengthening UWEA’s positions in Ukraine and on the international stage!
Shared challenges – joint actions
During the meeting, Board members representing the industry’s leading companies also shared the latest updates in their activities, as well as outlined the current challenges that remain decisive for the implementation of new projects. Despite all the difficulties, the market demonstrates viability, professionalism and faith in the restoration of Ukraine’s energy potential.
Member companies continue to implement projects, expand their portfolios, test new business models and form innovative partnerships.
The Ukrainian Wind Energy Association sincerely thanks all its members for their trust, activity and steadfastness! Together we are creating a future in which the wind becomes a symbol of recovery, the energy of life and the resilience of Ukraine.
