09:30   Session 1: Lessons For International Energy Security From Ukraine’s Evolving Decentralised Energy Solutions

• How Ukraine has endured the most serious strain on its energy sector since the start of the full-scale invasion
• The rebuilding of Ukraine’s energy sector as both an economic opportunity and strategic imperative
• The recovery of Ukraine’s energy system as a transition towards resilience – decentralised, adaptive and capable of rapidly responding to crisis conditions
• Decentralisation and the rapid expansion of cogeneration capacity in local communities
• Progress report for Ukraine’s full integration into the European electricity market. Market coupling, balancing markets, market liquidity, simplifying conditions for trading, effective use of transmission capacity of interconnections to increase flexibility of the system and access to EU reserves

• Highlighting major battery energy storage projects and their importance in stabilising the grid and enhancing energy security. How the private sector is contributing to meet this strategic need
• Local energy generation, storage and intelligent control to reduce dependence on a single grid, balance demand in real time and maintain stability when the broader system is under pressure
• Outlining the major reconstruction of generation capacity, transmission networks and municipal heating systems which has to be undertaken before the next heating season
• Priority procurement requirements. Sourcing equipment for gas production and supply and centralised heating in addition to energy generation and transmission
• What measures are being taken to strengthen the protection of critical energy infrastructure, such as building protective shelters and relocating systems underground?

13:00   Lunch

14:00   Session 3: Renewables As A Key Component Of Ukraine’s Future-Proofed Energy System

• Case studies and market analysis from Ukraine’s leading renewables developers and sponsors investing in RES and storage systems
• Projects being developed during the war: wind, solar, biogas, hydrogen, storage
• Measures to create a stable, bankable environment for investors in Ukraine’s renewable energy market
• Charting Ukrainian corporates’ move to develop distributed generation capacity to meet their own needs
• Investment funds’ role in increasing access to equity capital to be deployed into renewable energy
• Driving innovation to accelerate Ukraine’s energy recovery, decarbonisation and long-term security
• The Ukraine-EU Hydrogen Corridor as a key step towards Ukraine’s further integration into European value chains

15:30   Afternoon refreshments

16:00   Session 4: Financing Energy Transition And Resilience In Ukraine With A Focus On The Growing Role Of Private Equity And Capital

• Initiatives and mechanisms to de-risk and unlock investment in the Ukrainian energy sector
• The role of the IFIs and international donors in financing the restoration of critical national infrastructure
• Private equity and private capital as the most efficient tool to rebuild, modernise and future-proof Ukraine’s energy system and how political risk insurance and institutional guarantees can support
• What energy projects is the Ukraine Investment Framework supporting?
• Corporate governance as a key factor in unlocking faster and more flexible support. Status update on reforms at the state-owned energy companies
• How to overcome the major challenge of a lack of bankable PPAs
