Business Sweden is glad to announce upcoming webinar by Business Sweden “Navigating the Energy Sector in Ukraine: Opportunities and Insights for Swedish Companies” on November 7, 2024.

Since October 2022, Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been specifically targeted by extensive drone and missile attacks from Russia. These attacks intensified significantly in March 2024. By May 2024, Ukraine had lost nearly 9 GW of its power generation capacity, with about 60% of its energy generation facilities either destroyed, damaged, or seized. This heavy pressure has forced Ukrainian businesses and society to adapt to frequent power outages, invest in backup power sources, and explore sustainable energy solutions.

The Ukrainian government, local municipalities, the private sector, and international financial institutions are all prioritizing investments to revitalize the energy sector. The reconstruction needs for Ukraine’s energy and extractive industries have already exceeded SEK 516 billion, according to joint assessments by the Ukrainian government, World Bank Group, European Commission, and United Nations (RDNA3). This situation presents significant opportunities for international businesses to contribute to the reconstruction efforts. Given the evolving landscape, Swedish energy companies could play a crucial role in Ukraine’s recovery, supporting a smooth transition to a greener and more sustainable economy.

This webinar is to highlight the recent changes and stimuli provided by the government to overcome the challenges and prepare for the upcoming 2024-2025 winter season as well as recent developments aimed at boosting distributed generation introduction in Ukraine. Along with updated information from the government, we aim to present a Guide for Swedish Companies on Opportunities in the Energy Sector of Ukraine, to showcase new financing mechanisms available and successful cases of cooperation and highlight the significant business opportunities Ukraine offers for energy companies in terms of trade and investment.

The webinar will be held in English.
