Innovative Grid Technologies for sustainable energy security in Ukraine and beyond
You can watch the recording of the webinar here:
Green Deal Ukraina, in partnership with CurrENT and the Renewables Grid Initiative, invites you to an hour-and-a-half online webinar exploring the critical role Innovative Grid Technologies (IGTs) can play in securing Ukraine's energy supply over the coming winters.
In our recent paper, we outlined six actionable options to enhance power grid transfers from continental Europe to Ukraine for the next two winters. The ongoing energy crisis in Ukraine highlights the urgent need for practical steps to strengthen electricity links with Western neighbors. Rapidly increasing imports from the EU can provide vital support to Ukraine as it confronts the severe consequences of Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure and other challenges contributing to the power deficit.
This webinar will host representatives from energy companies developing IGTs with a high TRL which can be deployed rapidly, energy industry experts, as well as representatives from DSOs both in Ukraine and bordering countries, who will be essential in deploying the IGTs. The event will provide a great opportunity to discuss both the immediate and long-term measures for securing Ukraine's power supply through innovative technologies and cross-border cooperation.
