ABSTRACT
The post-war reconstruction of the energy sector of Ukraine is a critical issue that requires significant investment in both infrastructure and modernization. However, the limited financing of the public sector is a problem that needs to be addressed. A combination of European Union (EU) grant funding and private funding through public-private partnerships (PPPs) has been suggested as a potential solution to this problem. The relevance of this topic lies in the potential of PPPs to attract resources and experience from both the public and private sectors. This can lead to a more efficient use of resources and can help solve the problems associated with limited public sector funding. In addition, PPPs can provide a framework for sharing risks between the public and private sectors and can help mobilize private sector resources and expertise, which can be critical in post-war reconstruction efforts. In addition, a combination of EU grant funding and private funding through PPPs can contribute to broader economic development by promoting investment in the energy sector. This can help stimulate economic growth, create jobs and improve energy security, which is critical for the long-term sustainability of Ukraine’s energy sector. Thus, the topic of combined models of uniting EU grant funding and private funding based on public-private partnership for the post-war reconstruction of the energy sector of Ukraine is extremely relevant for solving problems related to limited public sector funding, attracting resources and experience from both public and private sectors as well as promoting the broader economic development of Ukraine.

Zintegrowane modele łączenia dofinansowania unijnego i prywatnego w sektorze energetycznym Ukrainy w oparciu o partnerstwo publiczno-prywatne

Powojenna odbudowa sektora energetycznego Ukrainy jest kwestią krytyczną, wymagającą znacznych inwestycji w infrastrukturę i modernizację. Problemem wymagającym rozwiązania jest jednak ograniczone finansowanie sektora publicznego. Jako potencjalne rozwiązanie tego problemu zaproponowano połączenie dotacji UE i finansowania prywatnego w ramach partnerstwa publiczno-prywatnego (PPP). Istotność tego tematu polega na potencjale PPP w zakresie przyciągania zasobów i doświadczenia zarówno z sektora publicznego, jak i prywatnego. Może to prowadzić do bardziej efektywnego wykorzystania zasobów i pomóc w rozwiązaniu problemów związanych z ograniczonym finansowaniem sektora publicznego. Ponadto PPP mogą zapewnić ramy podziału ryzyka między sektor publiczny i prywatny oraz mogą pomóc w mobilizacji zasobów i wiedzy fachowej sektora prywatnego, co może mieć kluczowe znaczenie w powojennych wysiłkach na rzecz odbudowy. Ponadto połączenie dotacji UE i finansowania prywatnego za pośrednictwem PPP może przyczynić się do szerszego rozwoju gospodarczego poprzez promowanie inwestycji w sektorze energetycznym. Może to pomóc w stymulowaniu wzrostu gospodarczego, tworzeniu miejsc pracy i poprawie bezpieczeństwa energetycznego, co ma kluczowe znaczenie dla długoterminowej stabilności ukraińskiego sektora energetycznego. Zatem temat połączonych modeli łączenia dofinansowania unijnego i prywatnego w oparciu o partnerstwo publiczno-prywatne na rzecz powojennej odbudowy sektora energetycznego Ukrainy jest niezwykle istotny dla rozwiązywania problemów związanych z ograniczonym finansowaniem sektora publicznego, przyciąganiem środków i doświadczeń zarówno z sektora publicznego, jak i prywatnego, a także promowanie szerszego rozwoju gospodarczego Ukrainy.
