2027 Draft State Budget Allocates UAH 97.3 Billion for Energy Sector, Prioritising Protection and Distributed Generation
Last editorial update:
The draft State Budget for 2027 allocates UAH 97.3 billion to the energy sector. First Deputy PM and Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal stated the priority is protection and restoration of energy facilities after Russian attacks plus development of distributed gas generation (UAH 60 billion). Additional UAH 8.8 billion from international partners targets capacity growth at Ukrenergo, Ukrnafta and Ukrhydroenergo and faster EU market integration; further funds cover energy-efficiency grants and Chernobyl maintenance.
Why it matters
Clear multi-year fiscal commitment to distributed gas generation and infrastructure hardening creates co-financing and offtake visibility for hybrid renewable + flexibility projects. UAH 60 bn earmarked for protection/restoration plus international partner funds for Ukrenergo/Ukrhydroenergo support grid connection and balancing needs critical for 5-100 MW solar/wind/BESS origination in central and western Ukraine.
