Under the chairmanship of First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal, a regular meeting of the Headquarters for the Elimination of the Consequences of Emergencies in Kyiv and the region was held.
The Minister reported that the electricity supply situation remains difficult. Energy workers continue emergency repair works at facilities damaged by Russian attacks on the night of February 7, while the scale of destruction remains significant.
“We are working on comprehensive solutions, including the commissioning of additional generation capacities. All works are proceeding according to approved schedules. In particular, today we expect the launch of an additional 9 MW of generation capacity in Kyiv,” Denys Shmyhal said.
According to the First Deputy Prime Minister, the highest daily volume of electricity imports over the past week was recorded today. This helped maintain the stability of the power system after massive Russian attacks and partially reduce the electricity deficit.
The Ministry of Energy, together with the Ministry of Development, continues to mobilize humanitarian assistance from international partners and ensure the distribution of received energy equipment to the regions.
Overall, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation, Ukraine has received 27,000 tons of humanitarian energy equipment, of which 25,100 tons have already been delivered to energy companies and dispatched to the regions.
Denys Shmyhal also reported that over the past two weeks, 17 humanitarian shipments from 11 partner countries - Switzerland, Slovakia, Denmark, Canada, Sweden, Azerbaijan, Germany, Austria, Lithuania, and Italy - have arrived at the Ministry of Energy’s warehouses. During this period, 774 generators and 40 block-modular boiler houses, cogeneration units, boilers, and other equipment were delivered to the regions. In the near future, an additional 798 generators, 117 transformers, and 120 boilers and cogeneration units are expected to arrive.
