Total Energy Consumption

Ukraine's total energy consumption per capita fell from 4.9 toe in 1990 to 2.9 toe in 2010 and 2.1 toe in 2021. It even dropped by 19% in 2022 to 1.7 toe, which is 55% lower than the average for the EU.

Electricity consumption per capacity dropped by 21% in 2022 due to the Russian invasion and reached 2 250 kWh. Previously, it had been around 2 700 kWh starting in 2018, which was around half the electricity consumption compared to the EU.

Coal Consumption

Coal consumption dropped by 40% in 2022 to 27 Mt. For 2012-2021, coal consumption declined by 5.9%/year (-44%) to 40 Mt in 2020, mainly due to the civil war that had disrupted coal supply.

Power Consumption

Electricity consumption dropped by 32% in 2022 to 85 TWh due to energy infrastructure damages and the general collapse in electricity demand due to the Russian invasion. Previously, it had rebounded by 7% in 2021 to 125 TWh, after a decline of around 3%/year (-22%) between 2012 and 2020.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

SAEE is also in charge of implementing the policy on renewables and alternative fuels.

The target set by the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP, 2014) for a share of renewables of 11% of final energy consumption in 2020 (11% for electricity, 12.4% for heating, and 10% for transport) was missed by 2 pp (9.2%, including 13.9% for electricity, 9.3% for heating, and 2.5% in transport).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In 2020, Ukraine's GHG emissions (including LULUCF) were 74% lower than in 1990.

In its updated NDC (2021), Ukraine committed to cut its GHG emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels (including LULUCF) and to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.
