How can we bring renewable energy and electric transport together so that communities grow more energy–independent and resilient?
On 19 June, Ecoclub – together with the NGO Ecoaction and Transport & Environment (T&E) – invites you to an online discussion, “Ukraine’s Energy Resilience: From Charging Infrastructure to Decentralised Energy,” held on the eve of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026.
When? 19 June, 11:00–13:00.
Where? Zoom.
The event will be held in English, with simultaneous interpretation into Ukrainian.
Ukraine’s recovery is a chance to build a modern energy system that can stand up to new challenges. That’s why this event will explore how communities can develop renewables, storage, charging infrastructure, and electric transport as connected parts of one resilient system.
Alongside representatives from the European Commission, the EBRD, Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy, Ukraine’s Ministry for Communities and Territories Development, civil society organisations, and the expert community, we’ll discuss:
- the growth of e–mobility and charging infrastructure in Ukraine;
- the role of solar power, energy storage, and energy efficiency in rebuilding communities;
- the barriers holding back energy projects from scaling up;
- funding and support available from European partners;
- practical ways to make communities more energy–resilient.
We’ll share what we’ve learned from rolling out local renewable energy projects, and talk about why renewables and electric transport belong in a shared vision for community recovery rather than being treated as separate efforts.
“In Ukraine today, renewable energy and electric transport often develop side by side, but rarely in step. As a result, communities miss the chance to build energy systems that are truly resilient. We believe that, throughout the recovery, these areas should be approached together – from energy planning to securing finance. In the run–up to URC 2026, we want to put this issue front and centre and open up a wider conversation about how to bring renewables, energy storage, charging infrastructure, and e–mobility together into a single vision for rebuilding communities. Without that approach, we risk recreating outdated models of development rather than building a modern, resilient, and secure energy system,” says Nataliia Kholodova, Programme Manager at the NGO Ecoclub.
The event is organised by the NGO Ecoclub, the NGO Ecoaction, and the European Federation for Transport and Environment as part of the preparations for URC 2026, with funding from Sida and support from WWF.
