Since March 2024, Russia intensified attacks on Ukraine's Integrated Energy System, causing substantial damage to power generation, electricity grid, and natural gas infrastructure. The onslaught disrupted critical public services, leading to a temporary loss of 9 GW in power generation capacity. The G7+ Coordination Group, along with the international community, strongly condemned Russia's actions and pledged significant emergency assistance to help repair and stabilize Ukraine's energy grid. Various financial institutions have provided substantial support, with G7+ partners announcing over $1 billion in additional assistance following the attacks. Efforts include the provision of equipment for repairs, physical protection of essential energy components, and deployment of decentralized power generation solutions. The focus is on ensuring operational resilience of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The group reaffirms its commitment to supporting Ukraine's energy system's rebuilding, aiming for a secure, sustainable, and integrated future. Key reforms in renewable energy development, governance, and investment showcase Ukraine's progress towards EU integration and a resilient energy system. The European Union's support, including the Ukraine Facility and Ukraine Plan, align with Ukraine's recovery, reconstruction, and modernization goals.
