Ukraine showcases investment opportunities in energy and climate at London event

A high-level public event, Ukraine’s Energy and Climate Investment Roadshow in the UK, took place in London, where British partners were presented with the implementation directions of Ukraine’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) to 2030 and investment opportunities in projects focused on renewable energy development, industrial decarbonisation, and energy efficiency improvements.

The British side was represented by key government institutions: the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). Discussions included representatives from major financial and insurance market institutions, such as Lloyd’s of London, the London Stock Exchange, and the industry association The City UK. Companies already operating in Ukraine or considering entering the Ukrainian market, including Baker Hughes, Urenco, and CMT Power, also participated. In total, representatives from 65 British companies attended the event.

Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine was represented by Deputy Minister Andrii Teliupa. He outlined the key directions of the NECP, approved by the Government in June 2024: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 65% compared to 1990 levels, increasing the share of renewable energy to 27%, reducing reliance on energy imports to 33%, developing decentralised energy generation, advancing innovations in bioenergy and nuclear energy, and lowering energy consumption.

“The implementation of the National Energy and Climate Plan to 2030 opens new opportunities for investment and technological partnerships. We invite international partners to collaborate on projects in renewable energy, biomethane, energy efficiency, and industrial decarbonisation. Ukraine is establishing clear rules for business and looks forward to cooperation that will deliver tangible economic and climate benefits,” emphasised Andrii Teliupa.

During the event, Ukrainian industry companies presented their projects to potential partners, including Eurocape, MHP, Ecofactor, DTEK, Elementrum Energy, Tatra-Yug, Novocold, and Transgasindustry. These projects span wind energy, biomethane, electric transport, energy efficiency, and innovative energy generation.

British companies already operating in Ukraine shared their experiences in project implementation, focusing on regulatory conditions, risks, government support tools, and financial solutions.

The Ukrainian delegation also held several meetings in London with representatives of British government bodies, international organisations, and financial institutions. Discussions covered critical raw materials policy development, coordination with the British Geological Survey, investment insurance opportunities, capital mobilisation through the London Stock Exchange, and potential support from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The talks also focused on preparing pilot projects and next steps for their presentation at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) 2026.
