Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--As tensions between Ukraine and Russia worsened, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called up military reservists and announced a 30-day state of emergency on Wednesday, while Russia continued to mobilize its own forces and recognized two Moscow-backed separatist regions of Ukraine as "independent." But it isn't just Russia's military that looms over Ukrainian life; the Eastern European country depends on imported energy sources to generate power, much of which comes directly from, or originates in, Russia. Industrial Info is tracking more than $28 billion worth of active power-generation projects within Ukraine, including about $1 billion worth already under construction.

Ukraine generated 149 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity in 2020, more than 51% of which came from four nuclear plants with 15 reactors, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Ukraine's leadership sees nuclear as its best chance for large-scale power generation in the future; although most of Ukraine's nuclear fuel supplies historically have been imported from Russia, Energoatom, Ukraine's national nuclear-generation company, has been reducing Russia's influence by finding other sources abroad.
Ukraine is proposing up to 24 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear-generation capacity by 2040, which would include 11 GW of new capacity. In November, Energoatom signed an agreement with Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (Cranberry, Pennsylvania) to provide the design for the 1-GW Unit 4 at the Khmelnitsky Nuclear Station, which would be the first of several projects across Ukraine to use Westinghouse's AP1000 technology. According to World Nuclear News, construction on a VVER-1000 reactor at the facility stalled in 1990 at 28% completion. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database can read more in a detailed project report.
"We have changed our attitude to nuclear generation. The state considers nuclear energy to be the basis of the country's energy," said Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko at a signing ceremony in November. "The current energy crisis in Europe and in the world is pushing us to understand that nuclear energy is our decarbonized future. This is the future in terms of stability, reliability, safety and new opportunities, in particular, the development of small modular reactors."
Other 1-GW proposals include Unit 4 at the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Station and Unit 5 at the Rovno (Rivne) Nuclear Power Station. But if Ukraine is to reach its goal of 24 GW, it would need to refurbish and upgrade existing capacity; to that end, Energoatom is proposing turbine condenser replacements on units 1 and 6 at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, a life extension on Zaporozhye's Unit 2, and a turbine condenser replacement on Rovno's Unit 1. Subscribers can read detailed project reports on the proposed South Ukraine Unit 4 and Rovno Unit 5; Zaporozhye's Unit 1 and Unit 6 turbine condenser replacements and Unit 2 extension; and Rovno's Unit 1 turbine condenser replacement.
Fossil fuels accounted for 37% of Ukraine's power generation in 2020, although it makes up 52% of the nation's total installed generation capacity of 55 million kilowatts (kW), according to the EIA. Although Ukraine halted direct natural gas imports from Russia following Putin's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014, much of the natural gas it imports from other areas in Europe still originates in Russia.
Zakhidenergo, which generates about 10% of Ukraine's energy, is proposing the 800-MW Unit 14 at its coal-fired Burshtynska Power Plant and the 225-MW Unit 9 at its coal-fired Dobrotvirska Power Plant. The Burshtynska Power Plant uses a cogeneration setup to produce steam via a pulverized coal-fired boiler. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's reports on the Burshtynska and Dobrotvirska plants.
Other fossil-fuel plans include DonbasEnergo's two coal-fired unit additions at its power plant in Donetsk, an eastern region that was partly overtaken earlier this week by Russia's military. Russia accounted for 70% of Ukraine's coal imports in 2020.

Historically, renewables (including hydropower) have not made up a large share of Ukraine's power generation. But Ukrhydroenergo PJSC, Ukraine's main hydropower-generation company, is pursuing a series of unit additions at its major facilities, including units 5, 6 and 7 at the Dniester Pumped Storage Power Station, each of which is designed to generate 324 MW, and the 250-MW Kahovska II Hydropower Station, also on the Dnieper River. Subscribers can learn more from Industrial Info's detailed project reports on Dniester Unit 5, Unit 6 and Unit 7, and the Kahovska II facility.
About $4 billion worth of windfarms are either proposed or under construction in Ukraine, including a four-phase windfarm in Mariupol, Donetsk, a city that borders one of the Russian-occupied areas. Subscribers can click here for a list of active wind-generation projects in Ukraine.
