As part of the agreements reached, the parties pledged to expand the Partnership in such areas as restoring energy infrastructure, promoting the sustainable resilience of the energy sector and expanding the use of renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, biomass, hydropower and green hydrogen.
The meeting also dealt with the integration of the Ukrainian and European energy markets, including the completion of the synchronization of the Ukrainian energy system with the European ENTSO-E.
