Executive Summary

The Öko-Institut was commissioned by Greenpeace Germany and Greenpeace 
International to investigate the possibilities and conditions necessary for re-orienting 
the Ukrainian electricity industry along ecologically sound lines. In the foreground 
of the investigation were the questions of either phasing out or possibly back fitting 
nuclear power plants in operation or under construction. The current economical, 
ecological and energy industrial situations in Ukraine are described in detail. 
Scenarios of future development based on this were evolved and political priorities 
for necessary shifts are discussed.

The Ukrainian power industry

The Ukrainian power industry is marked by two important factors, the domestic and 
primarily industrial electricity consumption and the export of electricity. In the past, 
a considerable portion of the electricity generated in Ukraine was exported to regions 
within and outside the former Soviet Union.

Between 1985 and 1990, the amount of electricity generated increased by nine percent 
to about 295 terawatt hours (TWh). After that, power generation declined rapidly so 
that by 1993 only 228 TWh of electrical energy were produced. This is about 85 
percent of the 1985 value. Reduction of electricity generation occurred almost 
entirely in fossil fuel power plants.
