Ukraine has launched the first pilot delivery of natural gas from Azerbaijan using the Trans-Balkan corridor. The supply route runs from Bulgaria through Romania to the Ukrainian border.

This marks the result of consistent efforts and negotiations coordinated by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine at various levels, particularly following the Ukrainian Energy Minister’s visit to Baku in July as part of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation between Ukraine and the Republic of Azerbaijan.

Minister of Energy Svitlana Grynchuk, together with the heads of energy sector enterprises and international partners, coordinated actions to accelerate the launch of new distributed generation facilities before the heating season. Its development is one of the priorities of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, as it is a tool for strengthening the resilience of the energy system amid constant attacks on infrastructure.

The Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Svitlana Grynchuk, held a meeting with the French delegation led by the Special Envoy of the President of France for Aid and Reconstruction of Ukraine, Pierre Heilbronn.

The parties discussed current Ukrainian-French projects in the development of electricity grids, nuclear and renewable energy, and the oil and gas sector, in particular regarding joint exploration and gas production in Ukraine.

In the face of ongoing enemy attacks on the energy sector, we must respond to new challenges by combining defense, equipment repair, decentralization, and effective cooperation with partners. This was stated by the Minister of Energy of Ukraine, Svitlana Grynchuk, during a meeting with the heads of Ukraine’s foreign diplomatic institutions.

Verkhovna Rada has appointed Svitlana Grynchuk as the new Minister of Energy of Ukraine.

“Energy is the foundation of the economy. That’s why our key task today is to ensure the country has the resources needed for life and work: light and heat for people, and energy for industry. There is no room for error,” the new head of the Ministry of Energy wrote on her Facebook page following the appointment.

Ukraine’s Minister of Energy, Svitlana Grynchuk, held a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine, Masashi Nakagome, and JICA Senior Vice President, Kenichi Kawamura.
