STRUCTURAL CHANGES IN THE ENERGY SUPPLY OF THE HOUSING FUND OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the problems of maintaining the housing stock in the conditions of structural changes in the energy supply of the housing stock and new construction in Ukraine. The analysis of the loss of power generation capacities of Ukraine due to the war unleashed by Russia is presented, which indicates the loss of 50% of power generation capacities and the destruction of thermal power plants, thermal power plants, and transformer substations.

It is shown that the main challenges affecting the energy supply of the residential complex were Ukraine's forced refusal from 2024 to import natural gas and the declared transition from 2024 to electric heating of new construction objects.

It has been shown that the indicators of the regulatory requirements for the thermal resistance of the building envelope, in accordance with the requirements put into effect in 2022 DBN B.2.6-31:2021 "Thermal insulation and energy efficiency of buildings" only came close to the indicators of European countries, which were adopted almost 15 years ago, which is not acceptable, since residential buildings account for 33% or 17.04 million toe. total final energy consumption.

During the next 5-10 years, it is planned to invest Sh15 billion in the construction of new renewable energy power plants in Ukraine. A new player will appear on the country's electricity market - an operator of an energy storage facility ("UZE Operator"). Its activities will be related to the operation of installations, energy storage and the selection of such UZE electricity for the purpose of using it for its own needs and storing and further releasing electricity into the network.
