The post-war rebuilding of Ukraine’s energy sector is a critical task requiring substantial finance and meticulous planning. To secure the necessary funds, a comprehensive financial plan is essential to assess available mechanisms and determine optimal implementation options. This study aims to identify effective financial mechanisms, evaluate funding sources, assess risks and benefits, and address unique challenges faced by Ukraine. Barriers to financing are identified, and strategies developed to overcome them with the support of international organizations and stakeholders. These findings provide inputs to a comprehensive financial plan that adheres to legal requirements and international practices.

This publication is part of a triptych of preliminary studies – technical, financial, and legal – that make up the first stage of the Ukraine Energy Roadmap offered by the Europe-Ukraine Energy Transition Hub. A fourth text presenting the joint conclusions and recommendations from the three studies is published in parallel.
