Power Plants in Ukraine

Ukraine has 78 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 48th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and 0.3% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 33 operating and 20 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 28.4 GW across 33 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant (6.0 GW).

The largest owner-operators are PJSC Ukrhydroenergo (12), DTEK Renewables (8) and SE NNEGC "Energoatom" (8) — PJSC Ukrhydroenergo alone is named on 15% of them. Half of Ukraine's power plants in service predate 1982 (median commissioning year of the 33 with a known date), 10 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Dnipro-1 hydroelectric plant, dating from 1932. 20 are in the pipeline, led by Khmelnitski nuclear power plant (4.7 GW), under construction. They account for 36% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Ukraine.
