Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Ukraine

Wholesale marketCompetitive generation, regulated retail

Nuclear plants supply most power. Russian attacks since 2022 have destroyed much generation. Ukraine synchronised with Continental Europe in March 2022. Market Operator runs day-ahead and intraday trading; households pay a regulated price.

Who controls the grid

Ukrenergo, owned by the state, runs transmission and dispatch; regional companies run distribution.

Markets & power exchanges

Regional grid

  • ENTSO-E · Continental European gridRegional grid

    Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.

What does “Wholesale market” mean?

Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.

Geography and data notes

Ukraine is in Eastern Europe. Its coastal or island geography provides a different setting for electricity infrastructure from inland systems. This profile connects country reference information with the historical station inventory and reported electricity generation.
