The nearly three-year-long war, which has left large swathes of Ukraine destroyed, has accelerated a transition to clean energy.
Amid relentless Russian missile attacks targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Maxim Timchenko, CEO of DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, has been leading efforts to restore power. In an interview during the U.N. climate talks in Azerbaijan, Timchenko shared data on a back-and-forth battle showing how electricity generation rises and falls with every rebuild and subsequent attack.
Russian attacks on energy infrastructure have shifted tactics since March, targeting generation facilities after earlier attempts to disrupt transformers proved ineffective.Geoffrey Pyatt, assistant secretary of the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Energy Resources, noted that 50 percent of Ukraine's power generation capacity has been knocked out. Despite this, nuclear, hydropower, and newly constructed renewable projects continue to provide critical electricity.
