All companies in the energy sector are attractive for investments. Most towns in the region are supplied by gas but coal, natural gas wood, oil and peat are all used for generating power. The gas depository in Stryi, the biggest in Europe, is of great strategic importance. A great number of rivers provide good opportunities for the development of hydro energy and there is also some potential for developing wind generated power. The region has a well-developed transport infrastructure.
Rail transport is the most important, carrying a billion tons per kilometer per annum.
Most lines are electrified. The Lviv region has six main lines, with a total length of 1,250 kilometers, or 5.8 percent of the Ukrainian network. Lviv, Stryi, Sambir, and Krasne are the main railway junctions. An eighty kilometer branch line between Lviv and Mostyska is currently being reconstructed to European standards. There are plans to build a new international railway station for this branch-line in Lviv.
