On November 21-25, 2022, the Energy Security Forum – post-war recovery of the Ukrainian energy sector took place.

The Energy Security Forum was the final forum of the year for Energy Club, a business community that brings together leading companies in the Ukrainian energy market and create opportunities for communication between its stakeholders, in a cycle of more than 90 events in 2022.

At the Forum, experts analysed and assessed the state of the renewable energy market, electricity market, gas market, hydrogen energy, energy efficiency.

Given the constant energy blackmail and terror by russia, the development of energy efficiency has become critical for both Ukraine and the EU (within the framework of the REPowerEU plan). Energy efficiency provides ample opportunities for economic, scientific and educational development, decarbonization of the economy, and most importantly – for energy security and energy independence.

Participants of the Ukrainian energy sector shared their thoughts about how the security and stability of the energy sector of Ukraine will be ensured during the war and the post-war development of the Ukrainian energy sector.

Generation, power grid complex, market regulators and traders discussed the problems and tried to predict the future development of Ukrainian energy.
