Rayton, a member of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine, took part in the international energy dialogue Alberta Energy Round Table, held with the participation of representatives from the Canadian and Ukrainian energy sectors.
Ukraine was represented at the event by Rayton co-founder Demian Krutchenko, who shared practical experience in implementing distributed generation projects and ensuring power system resilience under wartime conditions – an area that attracted significant interest from Canadian partners.
During the discussion, participants addressed common challenges facing the energy systems of Ukraine and the Canadian province of Alberta.
In particular, the conversation focused on modernizing aging grids, system balancing, and the role of decentralized generation. While Canada faces challenges related to long-distance electricity transmission, Ukraine’s key issue is maintaining stable power supply amid ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure.
“In our discussions with Canadian colleagues, we saw that grid-balancing solutions lie in the same domain, even though the root causes of the problems differ. Today, the world is closely watching how Ukraine adapts to extreme conditions. Our experience in building distributed generation systems and achieving energy independence is becoming a unique, globally relevant case”, noted Demian Krutchenko.
Following the meeting, both sides emphasized that the expertise currently being developed by Ukrainian engineers and energy companies may prove valuable for future grid modernization not only in Canada, but also in other countries.
At the same time, Rayton stressed that the company’s priority remains the restoration and protection of Ukraine’s energy system.
The participation of Ukrainian companies in international energy discussions demonstrates that Ukrainian business is not only adopting global technologies, but also shaping its own unique expertise that is increasingly in demand worldwide.
