During the first 100 days of the government team led by Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko, the energy sector has remained focused on its core objectives: protecting energy infrastructure from enemy attacks, restoring damaged facilities, and strengthening cooperation with international partners to enhance Ukraine’s energy security amid the fourth winter of war.
Preparation for the Heating Season
One of the key priorities is preparation for the autumn–winter period. A large-scale repair campaign is underway at all energy facilities across Ukraine. Energy workers continue to work around the clock to restore infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks.
Additional stocks of equipment for rapid repairs have been accumulated, and work continues to expand these reserves to ensure readiness for any scenario. The accumulation of fuel and energy reserves is proceeding according to plan - and in several cases, even ahead of schedule.
“The government has allocated an additional UAH 8.4 billion for gas purchases. We continue to work closely with international partners to strengthen reserves and enhance the protection of our facilities. We have a clear plan and well-developed algorithms to restore the Integrated Power System in case of damage,” - Svitlana Grynchuk, Minister of Energy of Ukraine
International Support and Decentralized Generatio
Over the past 100 days, EUR 113 million has been mobilized for the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, with an additional EUR 33.1 million pledged by international partners. These resources are being used to procure critical equipment for rapid restoration following enemy attacks. In this period alone, Ukraine has received over 1,000 tons of energy equipment and materials from 14 countries. Continuous communication with international partners ensures that Ukraine’s urgent energy needs are addressed daily.
“The development of a decentralized energy system is one of the Government’s key priorities during the war. Over the past 100 days, 117.64 MW of new capacity have been commissioned in the regions, and we expect an additional 180.3 MW by the end of the year,” - noted Minister Grynchuk.
Energy Independence of Social Infrastructure
Ensuring the energy autonomy of social facilities remains an important priority. Within 100 days, 17 solar power plantshave been installed for hospitals under the government’s “Ray of Hope” program. Additionally, a new initiative providing free solar panels for schools has been launched with a budget of EUR 16.5 million.
Improving the Business Environment
The government continues to create favorable conditions for energy enterprises. The procurement process for energy equipment has been shortened by 21 days. Deregulation measures have reduced the duration of gas transmission system repairs by six months, and the processing time for documentation related to construction and reconstruction of gas transmission infrastructure has been shortened by four to eight months.
These reforms strengthen the resilience of Ukraine’s power grid, minimize outage risks, and stabilize energy supplies for both the population and industry. Accelerated reconstruction of gas infrastructure also enhances system flexibility and enables reverse gas supply capabilities.
“Work continues across all directions to strengthen the country’s energy front. I am grateful to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his leadership in advancing Ukraine’s energy priorities at the highest international level, to Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko and government colleagues for supporting crucial initiatives and responding swiftly to challenges, and to the team of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine for their dedicated work and tangible results. We will continue moving forward,” - concluded Svitlana Grynchuk.
