Ukraine’s green transition is not solely an environmental imperative, but a strategic necessity for national resilience, economic competitiveness and a just society. As Russia targets Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, decentralised renewable energy solutions contribute to both community resilience and environmental sustainability. As Ukraine boosts its efforts to transition to green energy to support the country’s EU accession efforts, municipal governments are increasingly exploring opportunities for renewable energy projects.
The project aims to support the resilience and uninterrupted access to essential municipal services for residents of a city in Ukraine (anonymised due to security reasons) that also hosts a significant number of internally displaced people (IDPs). The project foresees application of an energy modelling method to evaluate a range of renewable electricity generation options and storage solutions for a municipal water supply station. It also presents the macro-level evaluation of the heating infrastructure of the selected water station, aiming to identify which heating technologies would most effectively make the facility resilient to potential energy shortages and reduce its reliance on centralised fossil supplies. Finally, to ensure the viability of the proposed solutions, the project presents a mapping of funding sources that could be used to finance the installation of the most effective renewable energy solutions proposed in the modelling and heating studies.

The UA-Gridex project is co-implemented by the Stockholm Environment Institute Tallinn Centre and the Energikontor Syd AB, and funded by the Swedish Institute.
