The Ukrainian Energy Security Dialogue is an annual meeting format that brings together Ukrainian, European and American stakeholders around topical issues of energy security in Ukraine and the region.

We aim to have an open discussion about the real state of energy security in Ukraine and the region — through the lens of new challenges and strategic goals for decarbonization and integration with the EU.

Amid Russia’s ongoing aggression, Ukraine’s energy system is being tested every day. The enemy constantly changes tactics, and we must keep finding new ways to maintain light and heat. This year, we will talk about how the war has changed both global and local challenges, which technologies and solutions will shape the recovery of the energy system, and what is needed to move toward a decentralized, secure, and sustainable energy future in times of hybrid threats.

Today, energy security is about more than generation or backup capacities. It is built at the intersection of technology, resilience, trust, and partnership. Ukraine is creating a new foundation for this DNA — from developing decentralized energy and innovative solutions to protect critical infrastructure, to expanding backup power sources and increasing the flexibility of the energy system.

Among the key issues of the Ukrainian Energy Security Dialogue 2024:
01
What are the main challenges and risks facing Ukraine’s energy and industrial infrastructure?
02
How can we effectively combine rebuilding damaged energy assets with the need for fast modernization, digitalization, and decarbonization of the sector?
03
What are the energy security priorities for Ukraine and the region in the medium term (up to 2030)?
04
What is the best energy mix to balance the green transition with affordable energy prices?
05
How should Ukraine’s infrastructure be prepared for integration with European markets and for the development of smart grids?
06
Which innovations in renewable energy, energy storage, and energy communities should be scaled up in Ukraine?
