On Tuesday 8 April, Green Power Denmark has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with its Ukrainian counterpart, the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA) at an official event at WindEurope’s Conference 2025 in Copenhagen. State of Green hosted a closed event where the parties presented the new collaboration the day before kicking off the WindEurope Conference.

This agreement outlines the two associations’ commitment to collaborate on enhancing Ukraine’s energy security and assist in rebuilding the country’s severely damaged energy infrastructure after years of war with Russia.

If we can support Ukraine in recovering in any way, we will do so without hesitation. Green Power Denmark is ready to share our world-leading expertise, as well as that of the Danish wind energy sector, in the development and deployment of wind power—because the potential for renewable energy is enormous, and a comprehensive green transition of Ukraine’s energy system is the only viable path to securing the country’s future energy supply. I am pleased that this agreement will strengthen cooperation between Danish and Ukrainian energy companies and contribute to enhancing Ukraine’s energy independence and security – Kristian Jensen, CEO of Green Power Denmark.

Wind power as the key to Ukraine’s energy independence

Before Russia’s invasion, Ukraine’s electricity production was dominated by nuclear power, coal and gas, making the country’s energy system inflexible and highly dependent on imported energy. The reconstruction of Ukraine’s energy system presents an opportunity for a sweeping green transition, including the expansion of solar and wind power, both onshore and, eventually, offshore in the Black Sea.

UWEA Chairman Andriy Konechenkov looks forward to the collaboration, which will help prepare Ukraine’s energy sector for a greener future and a more secure and resilient energy supply.

Ukraine is going through difficult times. The war has damaged our energy system, but it has not broken our spirit. We are rebuilding, and renewable energy plays a key role in this process. Wind power is not only about energy – it is about resilience, independence, security, and peace. Denmark is a world leader in wind energy, and we are proud to strengthen our partnership with you – Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman UWEA.

Sharing expertise

The partnership will involve the exchange of expertise and hands-on experience in wind energy development. Additionally, UWEA and Green Power Denmark will establish training programs, workshops and study tours for Ukrainian energy stakeholders.

Danish expertise, technology, and investment can help Ukraine develop both onshore and offshore wind energy. Green Power Denmark’s support is a powerful signal that Ukraine is ready to move forward despite the challenges we face – Andriy Konechenkov.

Ukraine has set an extremely ambitious goal to expand its supply of green and independent energy, including wind power, by 2030. We have the tools and know-how to help achieve this target. There is no time to waste and no reason to wait for the war to end. By strengthening cooperation now, we ensure that Ukraine is in the best possible position to continue its green transition in the long run – Kristian Jensen.

Building on a strong partnership

The new agreement between the Ukrainian Danish wind industries builds upon an already strong energy partnership between the countries’ authorities. Since 2014, the Danish Energy Agency, in collaboration with the Danish Embassy in Ukraine, has provided practical expertise and supported the development of Ukrainian knowledge and capacity in areas such as energy efficiency, long-term energy planning and the integration of renewable energy—particularly wind and solar—into Ukraine’s energy system.

The day before the signing, the pre-event at House of Green was the obvious kick-off to WindEurope’s Annual Event 2025 in Copenhagen, where close to 16,000 participants from the industry will gather from 8-10 April. Where the partnership will also have an official session at the conference.
