Executive summary

The Ukraine Energy Damage Assessment Report was jointly prepared by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank with input from the Government of Ukraine. The report is based on data collected between 24 February and 31 December 2022, produced in a short timeframe to ensure the relevance of the damages. Given the ongoing nature of the war and the lack of access in territories temporarily not under government control, the data collection is primarily remote-based but validated through ground-based information. In-depth efforts have been made to check the accuracy of the information that was collected, analysed, and verified to the extent possible, including through site visits and satellite imagery. Given the constraints, the authors of the report cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of the data included in this work. Boundaries, colours, denominations, and other information presented in this report do not imply any judgment on the part of the UNDP and World Bank concerning the legal status of any territory or the endorsement or acceptance of such boundaries.
