🎤 Kostiantyn Gura at AUTONOMY:FORUM: What Energy Independence Looks Like in Practice
Kostiantyn Gura represented Ukraine2Power at AUTONOMY:FORUM in Kyiv, highlighting battery storage and decentralised energy as key to Ukraine’s resilience. Ukraine2Power is already putting these solutions into practice across schools, kindergartens, critical infrastructure and communities.
Ukraine’s energy resilience is no longer only about getting through the next blackout. It is about investing in decentralised generation, battery storage, and local solutions that can keep essential services running.
At AUTONOMY:FORUM in Kyiv, Kostiantyn Gura, Chair of the Supervisory Board of Ukraine2Power, represented our organisation and spoke about what energy resilience looks like in practice.
One of the clearest trends is the rapid growth of battery energy storage. According to SolarPower Europe, Ukraine installed 2.9 GWh of new BESS capacity in 2025, five times more than the year before. For the first time, Ukraine entered Europe’s top five battery storage markets.
At Ukraine2Power, we are already putting these solutions into practice. We install battery storage systems for schools and kindergartens, develop solar projects for critical infrastructure, and provide mobile power solutions to communities and institutions across Ukraine.
Ukraine’s recovery will be a long process. It requires building a new decentralised energy system that is more resilient, flexible, and better prepared for future challenges.
Ukraine2Power’s strength lies in turning this transformation into concrete projects on the ground – one school, one hospital, and one community at a time.
