Ukraine and Norway are moving their energy cooperation beyond emergency support toward longer-term industrial projects. Naftogaz representatives met a Norwegian parliamentary delegation led by Mani Hussaini, head of the energy and environment committee, to discuss recovery needs and future areas of partnership.
Naftogaz chief executive Sergii Koretskyi said Norway remains one of the group’s key partners. Its assistance has included grant support for gas purchases and help with restoring infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks. Ukrainian representatives stressed that strikes on Naftogaz assets have become more intense, making repair capacity and resilience planning a central issue.
From recovery to technology
The talks covered current projects in generation and infrastructure modernization, as well as cooperation with Norwegian companies and institutions in gas production, new technologies and ESG approaches. For Ukraine, this matters because the energy sector needs not only fuel and spare parts, but also durable systems that reduce vulnerability before the next heating seasons.
The partnership also has a strategic dimension. Norway combines strong gas expertise, offshore engineering experience and a public policy focus on energy security. Ukraine can use that expertise in rebuilding damaged assets, improving production efficiency and preparing projects that attract responsible investment.
Koretskyi described the cooperation as a partnership based on trust and a shared view of energy security. That framing is important: the support is no longer only financial aid, but a platform for technical decisions that may shape Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for years.
