The parties discussed ways to deepen cooperation to strengthen the resilience of the Ukrainian energy system and rebuild the energy sector. Particular attention was paid to the prospects for implementing business projects.
“In the context of technical assistance, there are three promising areas: hydroelectric generators, smart and microgrids, which are quite well developed in Canada, and the use of AI in the energy sector,” said Roman Andarak.
The meeting also discussed issues related to the development of renewable energy sources in Ukraine, including solar and wind generation, as well as nuclear power.
The Deputy Minister informed the Canadian partners about the measures being implemented in Ukraine to develop distributed generation, including a number of government decisions that provide additional financial instruments to individuals and legal entities to strengthen their energy independence.
The parties also discussed instruments for providing donor support to the energy sector through international financial institutions and the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
The importance of cooperation between the countries to strengthen the protection of Ukrainian energy facilities in the face of targeted russian attacks, in particular with air defense systems, was emphasized.
