The Green Transition Office joined the B2B workshop on energy cooperation between Ukraine and international partners in Rome
On July 10, as part of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 in Rome, a specialized workshop "United for Energy Independence and Resilience: B2B energy networking" took place, bringing together Ukrainian energy companies with international investors and partners. The event was moderated by Andrii Kitura from the Green Transition Office of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
The workshop presented the full spectrum of Ukrainian energy: from the gas transmission system and nuclear energy to renewable energy sources and agribusiness. Participants discussed investment opportunities in thermal energy, oil and gas sector, hydropower, and retail fuel market.
Ukraine is actively moving toward integration with the European Union and aligning its legislation with European standards, particularly through the implementation of the National Energy and Climate Plan. An important tool for attracting financing has been the Ukraine Facility program, which in 2024 provided €16.2 billion or 40% of Ukraine's external financing.
During his speech, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Andrii Teliupa emphasized the importance of creating predictable conditions for investment and disclosed specific financing needs: "We are confident that only with clear and predictable rules will investments in Ukraine grow. According to our estimates, based on the recently published RDNA4, the energy sector alone needs $67.78 billion in investments, of which at least $41 billion should come from the private sector. The second component of Ukraine Facility is aimed at attracting up to €40 billion in investments for Ukraine's recovery."
During the event, constructive discussions took place between representatives of Ukrainian business and international financial institutions regarding capital attraction mechanisms. Special attention was paid to issues of investment risk insurance and creating attractive conditions for long-term cooperation.
The event moderator emphasized the importance of such platforms for the development of Ukraine's energy sector:
"The workshop confirmed that Ukrainian energy projects are becoming increasingly attractive to international capital thanks to our course toward European integration. Investors see Ukraine not only as a market for recovery, but also as a long-term partner in green transformation," noted Andrii Kitura, head of the Green Transition Office and Development Director at DiXi Group.
Event participants agreed that investments in decarbonization, energy efficiency, and energy security are not only important for long-term sustainability, but also create significant business opportunities that support economic growth and job creation in Ukraine.
The Green Transition Office is an independent advisory body under the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine that helps to implement reforms in the field of green transition, energy and climate policy of Ukraine. The Green Transition Office operates with the financial support of the UK International Development and is implemented by Dixi Group.
