Ukraine summarizes its energy infrastructure losses suffered in the Russian invasion.

Before the full-scale conflict began, Ukraine’s power plants had an installed capacity of 56.1 GW. Russia occupied 18 GW of generation, including Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia. Over the past three years, Russia has conducted more than 30 significant strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, resulting in the loss of another 23 GW of generation capacity.

Taking into account the facilities that have been restored, Ukraine possesses about 15 GW of generation capacity. However, 18-19 GW are required during peak consumption.

Approximately $68B will be required to restore Ukraine’s energy sector. Electricity generation, distribution, and transmission facilities have incurred losses totaling $14.8B, while district heating has suffered $2.5B in losses, the oil sector $1.7B, and the gas sector $1.4B.

In contrast, the Russian oil industry has been the hardest hit by Ukraine’s attacks. As of February 2025, around 100 facilities had been damaged, including more than 19 refineries and approximately 40 oil depots. The industry’s losses are estimated at nearly $11B, including lost revenue. In the last six months alone, losses are projected to be at least $658M.
