German-Ukrainian energy partnership secretariat

The project “Secretariat of the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership” supports the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWK) and the German Energy Agency (dena) in the implementation of the Energy Partnership (EP) between Germany and Ukraine.

The Energy Partnership was launched in the end of August 2020 to create a platform for the new level of dialogue and cooperation between both countries in the spheres of energy transformation, climate policy and sustainable development. The EP consolidates cooperation on the topics connected to energy efficiency, renewable energy, hydrogen development, coal transformation and decarbonization. It provides the general framework for political dialogue in energy sector on both sides to make cooperation on energy and climate issues even more effective.
