Distributed renewables help Ukraine withstand Russian attacks
Original: In Ukraine, distributed renewables foil Russia's assaults https://energytransition.org/2026/09/in-ukraine-distributed-re
Ukraine's distributed renewable energy installations are proving resilient against Russian strikes on the country's power grid. Because solar and wind capacity is spread across many small sites rather than concentrated in large plants, attacks cause less disruption, allowing electricity supplies to continue even amid ongoing assaults on centralised energy infrastructure.
Why now: Ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy grid have made resilient, decentralised power sources a topic of active interest.
