Today, I want to explain how Ukraine's energy challenge

今天，我想阐述一下 乌克兰的能源危机，

can help the world to fight climate change.

如何帮助世界应对气候变化。

For decades,

几十年来，

Russia has been weaponizing energy to impose control over countries.

bribed us with cheap gas,

built pipelines to bypass Ukraine

修建绕过乌克兰的管道，

and under-supply gas to provoke energy shock

以及天然气供应不足， 这会引发能源危机，

that hurt all of us.

伤害到我们所有人。

But today,

而如今，

Russia moved from economic war

俄罗斯从经济战争转向

to physical destruction of our infrastructure,

对我们的基础设施进行物理破坏。

launching missiles to destroy our power stations and grids

and trying to crush the Ukrainian people.

并试图镇压乌克兰人民。

I get to see the impact every day

我每天都能看到，

running DTEK,

这对DTEK运营产生的影响，

one of the largest Ukrainian power suppliers.

When I wake up every morning,

我每天早上醒来，

my first job is to see whether we've been hit and how bad.

我的首要任务就是，

看看我们是否遭到了 袭击以及有多严重。

Since the beginning of this war,

our company was attacked more than 10,000 times.

我们公司被攻击了一万多次。

A hundred of DTEK employees have been killed on a military front line

DTEK的一百名员工在军事前线，

or serving on energy front line behind.

或者在后方的能源前线服役时被杀。

These attacks expose not only Ukraine's vulnerability, but the world's.

这些袭击不仅暴露了 乌克兰的脆弱性，

也暴露了全世界的脆弱性。

Almost every economy on earth depends on massive,

几乎地球上的每个经济体都依赖于

highly centralized but easily targeted energy systems

大规模、高度集中但容易定向的，

used to extract and burn fossil fuels.

用于提取和燃烧化石燃料 的能源系统。

But now in Ukraine, the war is teaching something new.

但是现在在乌克兰， 战争教会了我们一些新的东西。

That relying on renewable power,

依靠可再生能源，

we create much more resilient and secure energy system.

我们创造了更有弹性 和更安全的能源系统。

To understand why, picture a wind turbine.

要理解其中的原因， 想象一下风力涡轮机。

It's big.

很大。

700 tons and 130 metres tall.

700吨，130米高。

But actually, the footprint is just a few meters.

但实际上，脚印只有几米。

It's hard to be attacked by missiles

很难被导弹击中，

and if they succeed one, all other wind turbines are still running.

而且即便被击中了， 也不影响其他风力发电机的运行。

This kind of distributed power systems

这种分布式能源系统，

combined with the energy from household solar panels,

结合家用太阳能电池板的能量，

can massively enhance energy security of countries all over the world.

可以极大地加强世界各国 的能源安全。

And not only during war time,

不仅在战争时期，

but against other threats like fires and floods.

其他时期也可以面对 火灾和洪水的威胁。

Ukraine is becoming a testing ground for a new energy future.

乌克兰正在成为 未来新能源的试验场。

After the first invasion in 2014,

2014年第一次入侵后，

Russia destroyed or captured more than 30 percent of DTEK power assets.

俄罗斯摧毁或控制了 DTEK电力资产的30%以上。

Our response was to double renewable capacity,

我们的对策是 将可再生能源产能翻倍，

helping Ukraine to become the country

帮助乌克兰成为

with one of the highest growth rates of renewables in the world.

世界上可再生能源 增长率最高的国家之一。

One real life example and symbol of our resilience

一个我们恢复能力的真实例子和象征

is the Tiligulska wind farm on the coast of the Black Sea,

就是黑海沿岸 的Tiligulska风力发电场。

just 60 miles from the front line.

距离前线只有60英里。

Through the first 15 months of the war,

在战争的前15个月，

we built wind farm without foreign contractors,

我们在没有外国承包商 的情况下建造了风电场，

sometimes with missiles flying above our heads

有时导弹从我们头顶飞过，

and spending a lot of time in bomb shelters.

在防空洞里待了很长时间。

And we succeeded.

我们成功了。

From May 2023, we supply green energy produced by this wind farm

从2023年5月起， 我们将为超过20万户家庭，

to more than 200,000 households.

提供该风电场生产的绿色能源。

And we are planning to expand this wind farm

我们还打算扩建这个风力发电场，

to become one of the largest in Eastern Europe.

to supply Europe

为欧洲提供，

as much clean energy as countries like Finland produce during the year.
