Why does this matter?

2025 is a pivotal year for integrating innovations, developing energy storage technologies, and digitizing the industry.
According to World Bank and IFC estimates, Ukraine could attract up to $130 billion in investment if it effectively implements key reforms and integrates with the EU. These investments will support the green transition, including clean energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure.
Subsequently, with consistent reforms, an additional $282 billion in business opportunities could be unlocked. These funds would cover over half of the $524 billion estimated to be needed for post-war reconstruction. Without such reforms, potential investment could drop to just $73 billion.
Targeted reforms in the energy and extractive sectors could attract $36 billion in direct private investment and generate up to $132 billion in related economic opportunities.
Both government aid and private investment depend on process transparency. Recent findings on anti-corruption measures within EU integration emphasize that integrity remains critical for energy sector recovery.
