Ukraine energy report

• The country liberalised the residential gas market in 2020.
• Renewables should reach 70% of the power mix by 2050.
• DTEK is the main coal producer and generator of thermal electricity.
• Gas TSO of Ukraine was unbundled from NaftaGas as of January 2020.
• Ukraine stopped importing natural gas from Russia in 2015.
• Energy production has been deeply affected by asset destruction in Eastern energy-rich regions.
• Ukraine is implementing a very aggressive policy to eradicate energy subsidies.
• The Government has sharply raised household energy prices.
• Sharp decrease in the total energy consumption since 2010.
• The civil war is causing dramatic damages and losses in energy assets throughout the country.
• The Government will complete units 3 and 4 at the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant in 2023-2024.

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy supervises the energy sector through several departments (oil and gas, electricity, coal, nuclear power).

  The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources oversees climate change policy and provides licences for oil and gas field development, among other tasks.

• Energy Companies

  Gas:

  The gas sector is dominated by state-owned company Naftogaz, which was reorganised into public joint-stock companies in 2012.

• Energy Supply

  Resources:

  Coal and gas resources are rather abundant: coal reserves are estimated at 32 Gt, the world's sixth largest, with huge fields like "Donets". Gas reserves are estimated at 930 bcm (end of 2019). The country's oil resources are far more limited (66 Mt). According to the US Energy Information (2015), shale gas resources amount to 3 600 bcm.

• Energy Prices

  Gas:

  Gas prices used to be heavily subsidised. The price was much higher for industry and public institutions than for households.

• Energy Consumption

  Ukraine's total energy consumption per capita used to be rather high (4.7 toe/cap in 1992), but dropped sharply to only 2 toe/cap in 2019.

  Electricity consumption per capacity is around 2 600 kWh, which is less than half that for Russia. It dropped from its peak level of 4 400 kWh in 1990.

• Issues & Prospects

  Because of Russia's annexation of the Crimea peninsula in 2014, Ukraine has lost an estimated US$300bn worth of energy assets and energy reserves/resources. This includes the loss of 18 oil and gas fields; more than 1 200 km of gas pipelines; and an underground gas storage facility.
