Deputy Minister of Energy for European Integration Olha Yukhymchuk, while presenting the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) in London, emphasized the significant investment potential of Ukrainian energy projects. She underlined that there are currently wide opportunities for attracting investment into the restoration and further development of Ukraine’s energy sector.
Speaking online, Olha Yukhymchuk informed about the current state of Ukraine’s energy sector, particularly the damage caused to energy facilities by enemy armed attacks. She stressed that despite constant shelling, our country not only has a recovery plan but also a plan for a harmonious transformation of the energy system:
"Ukraine continues to move forward and creates the foundation and new opportunities for business development and investment attraction. The opening of new enterprises, the return of Ukrainians home from abroad, and the implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects are expected. This is not just recovery – this is the concept of sustainable, resilient reconstruction, this is a better and cleaner energy system than the one that existed before the war," she emphasized.
The London event became the first platform where Ukrainian companies presented their own projects developed for the implementation of the NECP and achievement of its goals. British companies already operating in Ukraine shared their experience and urged colleagues not to delay entering the Ukrainian energy market.
The discussion, which gathered more than 60 participants at the headquarters of leading engineering company Arup, covered a number of practical issues, including lending, insurance, capital movement, and other financing instruments.
The NECP defines Ukraine’s key goals and measures in the fields of energy, climate policy, and related sectors. Ukraine adopted the NECP on June 25, 2024, and already on March 15, 2025, submitted its first report on its implementation.
The achievement of NECP goals is ensured through joint efforts of the Ministry of Energy, other ministries and authorities under the overall coordination of the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine. The adoption, timely updating, and implementation of the Plan are an important component of Ukraine’s advancement on the path to European Union membership.
