Energy in Ukraine

Ukraine mostly uses energy from gas, followed by nuclear, oil and coal. The country has a diversified energy mix. Most gas and oil is imported, and energy policy prioritises energy security and diversifying energy supply. Integration with EU energy is in the energy strategy to 2050, and resilience and net zero carbon emissions. The energy and climate plan to 2030 includes efficiency.

Ukraine’s gas network has much storage, which can be useful for storing Europe's gas to even out supply and demand, and in the first quarter of the 21st century it transited much Russian natural gas to Europe. Energy infrastructure is much changed due to the Russo-Ukrainian war: some has been destroyed by Russian attacks, but wind farms and solar power are thought to be resilient because they are distributed. The coal industry has been disrupted by the war, and most electricity generation is nuclear.
