STC ENPASELECTRO Ltd. specialists took part in a meeting organized by the Ukrainian League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs with the involvement of the French MEDEF delegation.
The parties discussed several important issues, in particular, regarding the restoration of the energy sector of Ukraine and solving problems with the rapid construction of housing stock (modular towns) for internally displaced persons.
MEDEF International is the most important representative of French business, which unites 800,000 companies of various industries.
The participants of the conference emphasized that ensuring the stable operation of the energy industry is the key to the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure and the country's economy as a whole. The parties expressed their desire to resume work on projects, which implementation was stopped due to the start of a full-scale invasion and the development of new areas of cooperation.
As for the energy sector, it is one of the biggest challenges for the Ukrainian economy. Yuriy Bondarenko, general director of STC ENPASELECTRO Ltd., spoke in more detail about this:
"Until February 24, 2022, the Ukrainian energy system was one of the largest in Europe with a generation capacity of 56 GW. On March 16, 2022, we fully integrated with the EU systems. However, in the fall, Russian attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine caused the first blackout in the history of our independence (and in the last 100 years in general). However, we have overcome this challenge by stabilizing the system. Currently, the generation limit is 10-12 GW, consumption is almost three times less than it was in the 90s. The key tasks now are the availability of the necessary equipment (transformers), etc."
