During the Munich Security Conference in Germany, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Foreign Minister, held talks with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Serbiga. Both sides have reached important consensus on the 15th anniversary of the China Ukraine strategic partnership, bilateral trade cooperation, and post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, providing policy guarantees for Chinese enterprises to participate in Ukraine's energy infrastructure construction.

Wind power construction reaches a historic high in 2025

According to the latest statistics from the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association, the wind power industry in Ukraine will experience explosive growth in 2025, with a total of 324.4 megawatts of newly installed wind power capacity added throughout the year. As of early 2026, 138 megawatts have been successfully connected to the grid for transmission.

This data marks the recovery of Ukraine's wind power industry from a downturn. Looking back at the previous two years, the newly installed capacity in 2023 was only 146.3 megawatts, and in 2024, which was affected by the conflict, it plummeted to 20 megawatts. The construction volume in just one year, 2025, is equivalent to the total capacity added during the pre war period, demonstrating the speed of infrastructure repair and the return of international investors' confidence in Ukraine's long-term energy commitments.

Diversified investment and technological upgrading

As of December 31, 2025, the total wind power capacity operated by member companies of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association in the Ukrainian controlled area has reached 928.9 megawatts. In addition, there is a capacity of 1.32 gigawatts located in temporarily occupied territories, with the potential to be released after future recovery.

The current market landscape is undergoing profound changes: investment entities are becoming increasingly diversified, and new investors from various industries are entering the market one after another, integrating wind power projects into the broader commercial landscape of the country; The demand for equipment continues to become high-end. When planning new projects, investors tend to purchase the most modern wind power equipment from leading global manufacturers, which provides a broad space for international suppliers with technological advantages.

Deepening the strategic partnership between China and Ukraine

On February 13, 2026, Wang Yi met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Serbiga during the Munich Security Conference and stated that this year marks the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the strategic partnership between China and Ukraine, and next year the two countries will celebrate the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
