Problem aspects of the management of energy security of Ukraine under the conditions of marital state
Keywords:
energy security, energy intensity of GDP, import of energy resources, energy independence, war, martial lawAbstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of Ukraine's energy security in the context of long-term challenges caused by both the high energy intensity of GDP and political and economic dependence on the import of energy resources. Special attention is paid to the changes in the structure of energy imports and the dynamics of the energy intensity of GDP during the last decades, which reflect the country's efforts to increase energy efficiency and independence. In addition, new challenges arising from the war with Russia, which led to significant losses of infrastructure and require a rethinking of energy security policy, are highlighted.
The purpose of the study is to develop comprehensive strategies for strengthening the stability of the energy system of Ukraine, which includes the assessment of risks, infrastructure vulnerabilities and the development of effective measures to eliminate them in the conditions of martial law.
The research methodology is based on the application of a complex of historical data analysis methods, the synthesis of information about the current state of the energy infrastructure, and the study of the impact of martial law on the country's energy sustainability. In particular, a graphic method was used to visualize the dynamics of changes in the energy intensity of GDP and the structure of energy imports, statistical analysis to evaluate quantitative indicators and determine trends, as well as a generalization method to form conclusions regarding the influence of external and internal factors on the energy security of Ukraine.
The results of the study indicate that the efficiency of the use of energy resources in Ukraine has improved, but the military actions since 2022 have introduced significant challenges in ensuring energy security. In view of this, a number of strategic goals and measures are proposed to increase the level of energy security, including the construction of small nuclear reactors and floating power plants, the expansion of the use of wind and solar power plants, the creation of specialized mobile air defence groups and the procurement of air defence systems to protect critical energy facilities objects. The use of public-private partnerships can provide the necessary financing for the construction of protective structures, and the introduction of financing programs for individual heating systems will help reduce pressure on the centralized energy supply system and increase energy independence of the population.
