The French company Schneider Electric is expanding its collaboration with Ukrainian energy professionals and engineering organizations in the areas of power grid digitalization, energy infrastructure automation, and improving the reliability of the power supply.
In particular, during the Ukrainian Designers’ Congress, which took place on October 1, 2026, in Kyiv, the company presented technologies for managing distribution grids, digital substations, power quality monitoring, and high-capacity energy storage systems.
According to a statement by the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (NULES) on October 9, the event brought together design engineers, scientists, and representatives of the energy sector. The Congress was opened by Mykhailo Bubnov, CEO of Schneider Electric Ukraine LLC.
As part of the technical program, Schneider Electric specialists presented software solutions for designing power supply systems, low-voltage equipment, power quality monitoring tools, and digital management technologies for energy facilities.
In particular, participants were introduced to solutions for MicroGrid automated networks, the Smart RMU digital substation concept, as well as the PowerLogic T300/T500 and EasyLogic T150 controllers.
These technologies are designed for remote monitoring and control of power equipment, monitoring the status of grids, responding promptly to changes in power supply conditions, and automating electricity distribution.
A separate focus of the presentation was on high-capacity energy storage systems, which can be used to increase the flexibility of power systems and balance electricity generation and consumption.
For Ukraine, the implementation of such solutions is particularly important given the damage to energy infrastructure, the need to restore power supply, and the modernization of existing electrical grids.
Mykhailo Bubnov, CEO of Schneider Electric in Ukraine, has previously emphasized the significant potential of digital technologies in modernizing Ukrainian industry and infrastructure.
“In Ukraine, we see great potential for such solutions in industry, energy, infrastructure, logistics, and other sectors,” Bubnov noted in a statement released on October 6 during a discussion on the development of industrial digital technologies.
According to his assessment, the digitization of production processes and the use of intelligent control systems can help reduce unplanned equipment downtime, improve energy efficiency, and enable faster engineering decision-making.
Ukrainian electricity distribution system operators are also showing practical interest in Schneider Electric’s technologies.
In particular, on November 4, JSC “Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo” announced that its representatives had participated in a specialized technical event organized by “Schneider Electric Ukraine” for distribution system operators.
The meeting covered automation technologies for 6–35 kV power grids, digital substations compliant with the international standard IEC 61850, relay protection and automation systems, as well as dispatch control and telemechanics.
According to Andriy Stasevsky, head of Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo, such solutions can help improve the reliability of power supply to frontline areas and the resilience of distribution networks to military challenges.
Schneider Electric is also participating in the modernization of Ukraine’s municipal energy infrastructure.
Earlier, the company announced the implementation of a project to improve the energy efficiency of district heating systems in 26 Ukrainian cities. As part of the project, utilities received control cabinets for pumps and other process equipment, equipped with variable-frequency drives.
The equipment was delivered to heat supply companies in 15 regions of Ukraine, including Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Rivne, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr, Odesa, Kirovohrad, Kherson, Sumy, Poltava, and Kyiv.
According to the company, the implementation of automation systems has enabled these companies to manage their pumping equipment more flexibly, optimize electricity consumption, and reduce the risk of unscheduled outages.
Schneider Electric links the further development of digital solutions for the Ukrainian energy sector to the automation of power grids, the expansion of remote control capabilities, energy consumption monitoring, and the implementation of modern energy storage technologies.
