The sixth international exhibition and conference ReBuild Ukraine: Construction & Energy 2026 took place in Warsaw, with a strong focus on the recovery and modernisation of Ukraine’s energy sector, attracting international financing, and integration into EU energy markets.
This was reported by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
As part of the event, an energy conference, “Energy in Action: Building an Energy System That Works”, is being held with the Ministry of Energy as a co-organiser. During the panel discussion “Ukraine’s Energy Priorities and What They Mean for Business”, Deputy Energy Minister for European Integration Anatolii Kutsevol presented the main areas for the recovery and development of Ukraine’s energy sector.
One of the conference’s key outcomes was the signing of an agreement between the Government of Norway and the Secretariat of the Energy Community on a contribution of NOK 500 million (more than €48 million) to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
Ukrnafta has also signed a protocol with Greek company GEK TERNA on the free transfer of equipment for gas treatment and transportation. It is planned to be used as a backup in the event that core facilities are damaged or fail.
Participants paid particular attention to the resilience of Ukraine’s power system during the winter period. The issue was discussed at a meeting of the G7+ Coordination Group on Ukraine’s energy sector, also focusing on coordinating further international assistance.
As part of the event, the Ministry of Energy delegation held a series of bilateral meetings with international partners. In particular, with representatives of Denmark they discussed the implementation of the Ukraine–Denmark Energy Partnership Programme (UDEPP), and with the British delegation – the involvement of UK companies in supplying energy equipment.
During talks with Switzerland, the focus was on joint support programmes and developing cooperation; with Sweden, on the recovery and modernisation of energy infrastructure.
In addition, Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Haris Theocharis discussed cooperation on Ukraine’s reconstruction and the development of an energy partnership with the Ukrainian side. With representatives of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), they reviewed the further implementation of support programmes, financing priorities, and the development of energy projects.
Also during ReBuild Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, together with the European Commission and the Secretariat of the Energy Community, held an information workshop on opportunities to take part in procurements under the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
