On June 11, 2026, Vladyslav Sokolovskyi, Chairman of the Board of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (SEAU), participated in the international conference \u201cEurope-Poland-Ukraine: Cooperate Together\u201926\u201d, held in Kyiv.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
The event was organized by the <\/span>Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers of Poland (ZPP)<\/b> within the framework of the <\/span>Cooperate Together<\/b> program, which has been implemented since 2022 and aims to foster economic partnership between Ukraine, Poland, and the European Union in the context of Ukraine\u2019s reconstruction and European integration.<\/span><\/p>\n As part of the conference, Vladyslav Sokolovskyi took part in <\/span>Panel III \u201cCooperation in the Energy Sector\u201d<\/b>, where, together with representatives of public authorities and international businesses, he discussed the transformation of Ukraine\u2019s energy system, the development of renewable energy, and prospects for international cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n During the discussion, the SEAU Chairman noted that the war had effectively accelerated the formation of a new architecture of Ukraine\u2019s energy system, in which solar power plants, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and distributed generation are playing an increasingly important role alongside large-scale generation.<\/span><\/p>\n According to SEAU estimates, approximately <\/span>1.5 GW of new solar capacity<\/b> was commissioned in Ukraine in 2025, bringing the total installed solar capacity in the government-controlled territory to around <\/span>8.5 GW<\/b>. In addition, more than <\/span>500 MW of energy storage systems<\/b> were installed during the year, effectively marking the emergence of a full-fledged BESS market in Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cUkraine should not simply restore the pre-war energy model. We must use the reconstruction process to create a new energy architecture in which large-scale generation, renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and consumers operate as a single integrated system,\u201d the expert emphasized.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Special attention during the discussion was paid to the prospects for Polish-Ukrainian cooperation. According to the SEAU Chairman, the most promising areas of collaboration include joint Solar + BESS projects, localization of manufacturing, EPC contracts, behind-the-meter solutions for businesses, and the development of local energy infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n Vladyslav Sokolovskyi stressed that the Ukrainian energy market already offers significant opportunities for international investors and that the most successful companies will be those that view Ukraine not as a market for one-time sales, but as a platform for long-term partnerships.<\/span><\/p>\n A key milestone of the conference was the signing of a <\/span>Memorandum of Cooperation<\/b> between the <\/span>Solar Energy Association of Ukraine<\/b> and the <\/span>Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers of Poland (ZPP)<\/b>. The document is aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation, supporting investment projects, facilitating the exchange of expertise, and enhancing partnerships between Ukrainian and Polish businesses in the energy sector.<\/span><\/p>\n SEAU\u2019s participation in the <\/span>Europe-Poland-Ukraine: Cooperate Together\u201926<\/b> conference marked another step toward strengthening international dialogue, expanding cooperation with Polish partners, and attracting European investors to the reconstruction and modernization of Ukraine\u2019s energy sector.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On June 11, 2026, Vladyslav Sokolovskyi, Chairman of the Board of the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (SEAU), participated in the international conference \u201cEurope-Poland-Ukraine: Cooperate Together\u201926\u201d, held in Kyiv.
