Russia's attacks have destroyed approximately 9GW of Ukraine's electricity generation capacity. While some repairs are possible and electricity imports from the EU can help, a significant gap remains ahead of the next heating season. Pacific Green Technologies and VG Engineering showcased practical solutions designed for companies aiming to achieve grid independence. By securing their own energy supplies, these companies can reduce industrial demand on the grid, supporting Ukraine's energy strategy to transition toward more distributed generation.
Questions for discussion:
- Gas Turbine supply chain
- Grid-scale battery storage supply chain
- Practical steps needed to install above before the coming heating season
- Technical details and solutions
- Q&A
