Ukraine advances clean energy efforts despite Russian missile attacks on power grid

Ukraine is making progress in clean energy despite ongoing Russian missile attacks, which have destroyed about 50% of its power generation this year. The decentralized nature of renewable energy sources like wind and solar allows for quicker recovery compared to traditional power plants. DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, reports that it has successfully restored power after attacks on its facilities. For example, damaged solar farms were back online within a week, while repairs to thermal plants took months. U.S. officials note that Russian attacks have shifted focus from transformers to generation capacity. Partnerships between governments and businesses are helping finance renewable projects, which are seen as vital for Ukraine's energy resilience during the conflict.
