Renewed energy for Ukraine
A reliable energy supply is essential for our homes, workplaces, healthcare services and industry. Yet climate change is accelerating, making the need for decisive action increasingly urgent. Shifting weather patterns, rising sea levels and growing resource scarcity require solutions that no country can deliver alone. At the same time, energy demand continues to rise and gas reserves are diminishing, requiring a rapid shift to alternative sources for transport, heating and industrial use.
Ukraine faces the triple challenge of repairing and rebuilding its energy system while accelerating its integration with the European energy market. Its strong dedication to renewable energy, particularly wind, solar and decentralised energy hubs, combined with deep technical and IT expertise, provides a solid foundation for modernisation. The Netherlands is well positioned to support this momentum and to contribute to Ukraine’s long-term clean-energy transition.
Opportunities for Ukraine
Sustainable energy security and long-term development can only be achieved through close collaboration. Ukraine’s renewable-energy potential is among the highest in Europe, creating significant opportunities for Dutch–Ukrainian partnerships in onshore wind, solar PV, battery storage, decentralised grids and, over time, the exploration of offshore wind in the Black Sea. Dutch companies bring extensive experience in system integration, digitalised grid solutions, refurbished wind technologies and modular engineering, expertise that can be adapted quickly and effectively to Ukraine’s evolving needs.
As Ukraine aligns its energy sector with EU standards, public authorities, utilities, agricultural and industrial firms, IT clusters and critical infrastructure operators are increasingly seeking reliable, low-carbon and resilient power solutions. By combining Dutch capabilities with Ukraine’s rapidly developing renewable-energy sector, this partnership supports energy independence, strengthens local skills and employment, and contributes to a modern, competitive and future-focused European energy landscape.

Upcoming events
WindEurope Annual Event
Wind is Europe’s greatest energy asset – and it’s vital that we tackle false narratives and come together to tackle to bottlenecks to further wind buildout. This year in Madrid we’ll be looking at the many ways wind delivers for Europe – and what we can do to ramp it up further.

Lviv Conference & Business Forum
The Lviv Conference and Business Forum is the second Ukrainian–Dutch Intergovernmental Conference, held this year in Breda, the Netherlands. It is a high-level meeting where the governments of Ukraine and the Netherlands discuss Ukraine’s progress towards EU accession, ongoing reforms, and priorities for economic recovery and energy resilience. Alongside the governmental discussions, a Business Forum brings together Dutch and Ukrainian companies, sector organisations and knowledge institutions to explore partnerships, investment opportunities and practical cooperation in key sectors such as renewable energy, infrastructure, agriculture, water management and defence-related technologies. The event aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation, support Ukraine’s reform and recovery efforts, and expand opportunities for Dutch and Ukrainian partners to work together.
