Ukraine''s energy landscape has been profoundly impacted by the ongoing conflict, with extensive damage to infrastructure and a historical reliance on Russian imports for traditional energy sources like coal, gas and nuclear fuel. Rebuilding the centralized, Soviet-era energy system is no longer a viable option. Attempts to restore a fossil fuel or nuclear-based centralized sector are fraught with military risks, slow progress, high costs for the state and lack of appeal for private investors wary of vulnerable, high-risk assets. Razom We Stand reports.
Smart grids and microgrids offer the highest levels of energy security and the ability to withstand damages, threats and terrorist/military attacks. Microgrids can enhance the resilience and security of power systems, protecting them from various threats, including terrorist attacks. These small-scale, localized energy systems can operate independently or in conjunction with the main grid.
Despite its cities'' readiness to embrace decentralisation, Ukraine''s current legislation presents significant barriers. There is no clear definition of ''decentralised electricity generation'' in the law, and the process of connecting to the grid is not adequately regulated. In 2023, amendments to the Law of Ukraine ''On the Electricity Market'' introduced the concept of ''small distribution systems''. Still, this definition must address the broader question of how decentralised/distributed generation should function.
The legislation also needs to clarify how energy storage systems can be integrated into decentralised generation or how small distribution systems can connect existing installations in cities without establishing a distribution system operator (DSO). In practice, individual plants connect to DSO networks, but there needs to be a legal framework for combining these plants into local networks in small towns. This gap makes it financially unviable to generate more electricity due to the need to pay for grid transit once connected.
To address these issues, Ukraine must develop a clear algorithm for small networks and incorporate appropriate changes into the regulatory framework. This algorithm should include provisions for borrowing, where the state provides guarantees in the form of assets and grants large loans for implementing ''green projects'' backed by these sovereign guarantees.
Another significant barrier is the absence of the concept of an ''energy community'' in national legislation. While positive changes were made to the Law of Ukraine ''On the Electricity Market'' in the summer of 2023, focusing on active consumers and their right to supply electricity to neighbouring consumers, communities still have little interest in creating their own energy projects due to financial capacity, organisational activity, awareness and negotiation challenges.
As Ukraine rebuilds its energy infrastructure, embracing decentralisation and microgrids is crucial for enhancing energy security, resilience and independence. However, overcoming legislative and regulatory barriers is essential for unlocking the full potential of these technologies. By fostering a supportive legal framework and encouraging the development of energy communities, Ukraine can pave the way for a more secure and sustainable energy future.
