Ukraine boosts clean energy resilience amid ongoing missile attacks
Ukraine's energy sector is adapting to 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 restoration compared to traditional coal-fired plants. DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, reports that it has successfully brought new electricity online despite the damage. For example, solar farms can be repaired in about a week, while thermal stations take months to rebuild. International partnerships are emerging to support Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Companies like GE and Honeywell are collaborating with DTEK on renewable projects, aiming to enhance resilience against future attacks.
