The electricity market is part of a wider free market package designed to bring $30 billion in investment through 2030 — 11.5 times more than without the changes, writes Andrian Prokip, an energy analyst for the Ukrainian Institute for the Future. Since 1991, Ukraine has largely coasted on its Soviet energy inheritance, Prokip writes in an essay first published by the Wilson Center. He writes: “90% of electricity transmission lines are outdated. The distribution lines have depreciated by 60%, and thermal electrical power stations have depreciated by 80%.”
