Ukraine Pitches Systemic Energy-Resilience Plan to EU With New Power and Heat Targets

Overview

• At the EU Preparedness Conference in Brussels, Deputy Prime Minister Oleksii Kuleba outlined Ukraine’s shift from emergency fixes to regional energy‑resilience plans and offered to share lessons with EU partners.
• Kyiv priced the rollout at more than €5.4 billion and allocated UAH 10 billion for engineering protection of energy sites, with another UAH 9 billion planned for energy defense construction.
• Western-supplied equipment totaling over 530 MW is being installed across Ukraine, with partners now discussing additional deliveries including cogeneration units that provide both electricity and heat.
• The government set targets for 4 GW of distributed generation, including 1.5 GW this year, and more than 5 GW of modular heating capacity before the next heating season.
• Resilience plans fold in air defense, drone interception, and electronic warfare to keep water, heat, hospitals, and other critical services operating under attack.
