Despite massive attacks by Russia and low temperatures, Ukraine’s energy system maintained its resilience this winter.
“I express my deepest gratitude to all energy workers, repair crews, and our defenders,” emphasized First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.
The head of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, together with the Prime Minister and other government officials, presented a report on their work to the President of Ukraine and the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
- Since October 2025, Russia has damaged more than 9 GW of generation capacity at thermal power plants, combined heat and power plants, and hydropower plants. To date, 3.5 GW has been partially restored following the attacks.
- Approximately 900 MW of distributed generation has been commissioned, including 400 MW of new gas-fired and cogeneration units.
- The available electricity import capacity has been increased from 1.7 GW to 2.45 GW.
- EUR 691.45 million has been mobilized for the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, while the energy investment portfolio now includes 55 projects worth approximately UAH 1 trillion.
- The Ministry of Energy systematized the work of energy equipment hubs. During the period, partners provided 114 shipments of equipment with a total weight of 1,713.2 tonnes, while 405 shipments weighing 3,335.78 tonnes were dispatched from hub warehouses to energy companies.
- The Government maintained preferential electricity and gas prices for household consumers.
“We have already begun preparations for the next heating season. Our task is to restore everything that can be restored to the maximum extent possible; to provide maximum protection for energy facilities; to build distributed generation; and to create reserves of resources and equipment. Russia has not abandoned its energy terror, and we must be prepared for the next winter,” Denys Shmyhal concluded.
