Ukraine boosts energy resilience with rapid shift to renewables

newsweek.com — November 20, 2024, 02:01 PM UTC

Ukraine is rapidly shifting to renewable energy as it faces ongoing Russian missile attacks on its power infrastructure. Maxim Timchenko, CEO of DTEK, noted that decentralized energy systems like solar and wind allow for quicker recovery compared to traditional coal plants. After Russian strikes on DTEK solar farms, power was restored in just seven days, while coal plant repairs took months. This shift in energy strategy has made Ukraine's power generation more resilient against attacks. International partnerships are crucial for rebuilding Ukraine's energy systems. Companies like GE and Honeywell are working with DTEK on new projects, highlighting Ukraine's innovative approach to maintaining energy independence during the war.
