Several new projects are currently in the planning or feasibility study phase. The technically feasible national hydropower potential is about 21,500 GWh per year, of which half has already been developed. Ukraine intends also to increase the share of other renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and small hydro in the future.
The project of rehabilitation of hydropower plants of Ukrhydroenergo was started in 1996. Its first stage was implemented in 1996-2005. The second stage continues to this day.
Rehabilitation and modernization could add more than 4,000 MW of hydropower capacity to the country’s total. In order to reduce the need for expensive imported fossil fuels, Ukraine has also established a goal to more than double installed hydropower capacity to reach 15.5% of the total supply over the next decade.
