KYIV, Feb 27 - Ukrenergo is focused on increasing electricity consumption in the post-war period by approximately 2% annually and reaching pre-war indicators in 15 years, but with a different energy mix, said Vitaliy Zaichenko, director of management of the integrated power system of Ukraine, member of the company's board.
"When considering the future energy mix, we base ourselves on economic forecasts from the Ministry of Economy, and for the post-war period they are quite optimistic with a growth of 5-7% of the country's GDP. In our calculations, this translates into approximately 2% growth in electricity consumption, and we understand that in 15 years we will return to the pre-war level of consumption, but it will be completely different: both the structure and consumers will change," said Zaichenko during a thematic discussion on the development of Ukraine's energy sector from Energy Club, which was broadcast online, a correspondent of the Energy Reform online portal reports.
