Ukraine Power Transmission Network

The project targets selected investments in the Ukrainian high voltage power network, focusing on technical loss reduction, overall improvement of network reliability/stability and fulfilment of requirements for full synchronisation of the whole Ukrainian power network system with the rest of Europe. The investment is part of the Ukraine Energy Strategy until 2030, which stresses the necessity to implement large-scale upgrades of the Ukrainian power grid in order to accommodate predicted growth in peak demand and electricity consumption, improve energy security and reliability and prepare for the integration of Ukraine's power system into the Union for the Co-ordination of Transmission of Electricity (UCTE). The technical assistance provided through the NIF has allowed for the inclusion of social and environmental considerations at a very early stage of project preparation and implementation.
