Schneider Electric’s results reflect a broader investment cycle in energy infrastructure. AI data centers require not only servers and graphics processing units (GPUs), but also transformers, distribution equipment, UPS systems, automation systems, cooling systems, and digital energy management solutions.
Thus, energy infrastructure is gradually becoming one of the key constraints on the further scaling of AI.
For Ukraine, this trend is significant in the long-term context of rebuilding digital infrastructure and constructing new data centers. Future facilities will require significantly greater connected power capacity and more complex power distribution architectures than traditional server centers.
Schneider Electric has been operating in Ukraine for over 30 years. Globally, the company is present in more than 100 countries and has approximately 160,000 employees.
Schneider Electric published its financial results for the first half of the year on July 30, 2026.
Representatives of Ukrainian water and wastewater utilities are exploring opportunities for automation, digitalization, and improving the energy resilience of their infrastructure using Schneider Electric solutions.
In August, a specialized Schneider Electric conference dedicated to technologies for water supply and wastewater treatment companies was held in Kyiv. The municipal utility “Chornomorskvodokanal” in the Odesa region, among others, reported its participation in the event.
The main topics of discussion included the automation of production processes, the digitalization of water supply systems, improving energy efficiency, and ensuring a reliable power supply for critical infrastructure.
For Ukrainian water utilities, the energy component is of fundamental importance, as pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants, water treatment systems, and sewer facilities are directly dependent on a stable power supply.
At the same time, the modernization of the sector is taking place amid limited financial resources available to utility companies.
Schneider Electric’s portfolio for the water supply sector includes automation, dispatch, and power management systems; controllers; SCADA; electric motor control systems; digital analytics; and specialized EcoStruxure solutions.
Specifically, the company offers EcoStruxure Water Advisor, EcoStruxure Asset Advisor, EcoStruxure Automation Expert, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert, and SCADAPack telemetry systems.
These technologies enable the integration of data from pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants, electrical equipment, and networks into a single monitoring system.
According to Schneider Electric, the digital transformation of water utilities helps address several key industry challenges: water loss, high energy costs, aging infrastructure, unplanned equipment shutdowns, and the need to detect failures more quickly.
In the Ukrainian context, this is compounded by the need to improve energy resilience. A modern water utility must, in fact, have both automated process control and the ability to continue operations in the event of an external power outage.
This requires a comprehensive architecture: backup power sources, automatic load switching, control of electric motors and pumps, energy consumption monitoring, SCADA, and remote control systems.
It is precisely this combination of automation and energy management that is gradually becoming one of the key areas of modernization for Ukraine’s municipal infrastructure.
It is noteworthy that “Chornomorskvodokanal” itself hosted representatives of the international SPARC program in August, who conducted an audit of the energy equipment previously provided to the company. This indicates that the modernization of public utility infrastructure is increasingly combining international technical assistance with the implementation of modern management and control systems.
Schneider Electric has been operating in Ukraine since 1994 and provides solutions for the energy sector, industry, buildings, data centers, and critical infrastructure.

Schneider Electric has introduced a new generation of Easy UPS 3S Pro three-phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) with capacities ranging from 10 to 40 kVA, designed for small and medium-sized businesses, small data centers, medical facilities, manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, and telecommunications and transportation infrastructure.
The company announced the launch of the solution in markets that adhere to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards, specifically in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Schneider Electric Ukraine has not yet issued a separate announcement regarding the start of sales for the new product line directly in Ukraine.
The Easy UPS 3S Pro is available in versions with internal and external battery packs. The equipment’s efficiency exceeds 96% in double-conversion mode and reaches 99% in ECO mode, which helps reduce the system’s own energy consumption.
For facilities with increasing loads, parallel operation of multiple UPS units is supported—both to increase power capacity and to provide redundancy according to the N+1 configuration. The systems can also share a common battery bank, which helps reduce capital expenditures on battery infrastructure.
The equipment is designed to operate under various operating conditions. It features a wide temperature range, dust filters, and a protective coating on the electronic circuit boards. The Easy Loop function allows certain system tests to be performed without connecting a separate load bank.
Schneider Electric has placed special emphasis on remote monitoring. The built-in Network Management Card enables monitoring via the EcoStruxure IT platform, and BACnet support allows the UPS to be integrated into building management systems.
The network management module is certified to the IEC 62443-4-2 cybersecurity standard, which is becoming increasingly important as power supply, automation, and IT infrastructure systems converge.
For the Ukrainian market, the new product line is of particular interest given the need to improve the energy resilience of facilities where even a brief power outage or degradation in power quality can lead to operational shutdowns. This includes server rooms and data centers, telecommunications equipment, manufacturing facilities, medical institutions, retail, and other critical infrastructure.
At the same time, a UPS does not replace power generation or long-term battery energy storage. Its primary function is to ensure the continuity and quality of the power supply, as well as to support the load until a generator starts up, a switchover to another line occurs, or another backup source is connected.
Schneider Electric has been operating in Ukraine since 1994. The company is present in more than 100 countries worldwide and employs approximately 160,000 people.
