According to regional data, as of July 21, 2026, nearly 1.8 GW of distributed gas generation capacity has been installed in Ukraine.
The information was reported by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
“As part of the implementation of regional resilience plans, 388.8 MW of gas generation capacity has been commissioned since March 2026. Construction work is ongoing on 247 units with a total capacity of 532.2 MW,” the Ministry of Energy said.
The Kyiv region is the leader in the installation of gas cogeneration units, with more than 219 MW already installed. More than 100 MW of capacity has been commissioned in Cherkasy region (129.3 MW), Dnipropetrovsk region (118.2 MW), Volyn region (113.6 MW), Ivano-Frankivsk region (108.8 MW), Sumy region (103.6 MW), and Zakarpattia region (100.3 MW).
According to the Ministry of Energy, alongside gas cogeneration, Ukraine continues to expand its renewable energy capacity, including wind and solar generation.
“In the first half of 2026 alone, 414.8 MW of wind power capacity (70 installations) was commissioned. The total installed capacity of wind power plants currently stands at 1.115 GW. The largest capacities are located in Mykolaiv region (more than 400 MW) and Odessa region (more than 200 MW),” the ministry said.
At the same time, according to the national energy company Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s total solar generation capacity currently reaches 7.3 GW (5.4 GW from producers and 2.25 GW from active consumers). The largest capacities are located in Dnipropetrovsk region (947 MW), Mykolaiv region (782 MW), and Odessa region (515 MW).
“Alongside the expansion of generation capacity, energy storage technologies are rapidly developing in Ukraine,” the Ministry of Energy noted.
Over the past year, the combined capacity of energy storage systems in Ukraine has increased more than 300-fold, reaching over 600 MW. Energy storage facilities provide an additional tool for balancing the power system and utilizing electricity generated from renewable sources. By storing excess solar energy produced during the day, these systems can feed it back into the grid in the evening or morning during peak consumption periods.
