Ukraine
Country Analysis Brief
- Ukraine is important to world energy markets because it is a critical transit center for exports of Russian oil and natural gas to Europe, as well as a significant energy consumer.
- Ukraine is an important transit corridor for Russian oil exports. During 2006, pipelines in Ukraine carried 22 percent of Russia’s oil exports to Ukrainian refineries or onwards to the European oil market.
- Ukraine is a key transit center for Russian natural gas exports to Europe. In order to provide reliable supplies domestically and in Europe more investment in the Ukrainian transport network, more international cooperation, and a more transparent energy sector are needed.
- Ukraine has the seventh-largest amount of coal resources in the world, but underinvestment, and a lack of progress on deregulation have made the country a net coal importer.
- Ukraine has sufficient generating capacity to supply more than twice its electricity needs, but the country’s ageing infrastructure is in need of investment and maintenance.
- The country has one of the highest energy intensities in the world and has made some progress in reducing its energy usage from oil and coal but not for natural gas.
