From 9 to 11 March, the Ukrainian Investment Summit took place in London, where Vitaly Butenko, the Chief Strategy Officer of DTEK, presented his report Power Sector: Strategic Priorities. According to Mr. Butenko, the fastest solution for overcoming the crisis in the Ukrainian coal and energy industries may be privatization, which could encourage significant investment into these sectors of economy. Reforms of the Ukrainian energy market (switching to bilateral contracts and a balancing market) will also increase inflow of capital into the modernization of energy companies and contribute to the UCTE integration of the national grid, which, in its turn, will open up possibilities to expand Ukrainian electricity exports to Europe.
