Ukraine's energy infrastructure has sustained heavy damage due to targeted attacks, reducing its generation capacity significantly. The country faces a substantial electricity deficit, particularly during peak winter demand, which could result in extended blackouts. Last month I was invited to represent Joule Case on the U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Trade Mission to Poland for the ReBuild Ukraine conference. Our delegation, led by the Washington State Department of Commerce connected me with regional government and industry leaders including the Governor of Kyiv. From these conversations and briefings, it is clear that there remains a critical need for innovative solutions to rebuild and modernize Ukraine's energy sector.
1. Energy Infrastructure Modernization: Restoring lost capacity, and also modernizing infrastructure to make it more resilient to future attacks with renewable energy sources, smart grids, and decentralized energy systems.
2. Energy Independence: By diversifying energy sources and enhancing efficiency, Ukraine can improve their energy security and reduce vulnerability to external shocks.
3. Sustainability Goals: Aligning with global sustainability goals, Ukraine aims to increase its renewable energy capacity significantly presenting opportunities for international collaboration.
Specializing in sustainable point-of-need energy and power solutions, Joule Case can support decentralized, distributed resilient energy and power for critical infrastructure across a range of active priorities throughout Ukraine.
1. Deploy portable sustainable clean energy systems that provide immediate relief during power shortages, ensuring continuous operation of essential services.
2. Support for renewable integration through by providing point-of-need storage capabilities that balance supply and demand fluctuations.
3. Scalability and flexibility of Joule Case systems make them suitable for a number of various applications across Ukraine's diverse set of current and future needs,
Joule Case intends to play a pivotal role in rebuilding Ukraine's energy resilience, and is actively working towards funding that will enable us to expand our operations rapidly both in the United States and in Eastern Europe; scaling operations and infrastructure for export while creating American manufacturing & engineering jobs — Ultimately the deployment of critical power solutions where they are needed most, aligning with USAID and USG initiatives that prioritize decentralized, sustainable energy solutions.
Our approach not only addresses immediate wartime needs but also lays the foundation for a resilient and sustainable energy future in Ukraine.

Last month, Joule Case was honored to be one of just 25 companies invited to participate in the Economic Trade Mission to Poland, led by the U.S. Department of Commerce and Washington State Department of Commerce. This mission, focused on Ukraine's reconstruction, brought together leaders in construction, energy, and technology to collaborate on innovative and resilient rebuilding efforts.
During this impactful week, we had the privilege of engaging with partners, delegates, and leaders, culminating in receiving a letter of gratitude from ReBuild Ukraine for our commitment to supporting their efforts. The recurring theme was clear: reliable power is essential to “Rebuild Ukraine.”
Special thanks to the Washington State Department of Commerce team for their invaluable support throughout this mission and to everyone who engaged with us, from Polish and Ukrainian officials to global energy leaders.
