B a c k g r o u n d . The energy sector of Ukraine is a critical component of the national infrastructure. In Ukraine, this issue is especially relevant under the influence of military aggression, since its facilities in all sectors (from mining to electricity generation and oil refining) are being constantly destroyed. The restoration of the energy sector of Ukraine and its further development require new approaches to its management and the application of new technologies to increase the efficiency of resource use. The purpose of the study is to identify key trends and develop approaches to the intensive use of Ukraine's energy resources using the latest technologies. The task of the study is to determine the prospects for using cogeneration to rebuild the energy sector of Ukraine. The object of the study is approaches to the intensive use of energy resources. The subject of the study: the main tools for rebuilding the energy sector of Ukraine.
M e t h o d s . The methodological basis of the study is general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge, in particular, theoretical and methodological analysis of modern literature on the development of the energy sector, and documents of world organizations in the energy sector. The method of analysis and synthesis was used to generalize and provide a unified approach to highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned tools for rebuilding the energy sector. SWOT and PESTEL analyses were also used to determine the advantages and disadvantages of using cogeneration as a tool for rebuilding the energy sector of Ukraine.
R e s u l t s . The study showed that significant destruction in the energy sector of Ukraine requires the application of new strategies for its development. Damage to electricity generation facilities requires their restoration on the principles of low-carbon technologies, and attacks on oil and gas fields led to the need to restore previously preserved sources of hydrocarbons. It was determined that the use of deposits that were closed due to unprofitability requires the transition to new, more modern technologies, which will allow for an increase in the resource base of hydrocarbons and, using cogeneration of energy, to solve the problem of energy independence and ecology.
C o n c l u s i o n s . The introduction of cogeneration in the current conditions and war will allow attracting additional investments to increase the extractable reserves of oil and gas, maintain hydrocarbon production at the current level to increase electricity production, achieve energy stability and autonomy, save fuel, reduce the country's energy dependence, solve environmental safety, etc.
