The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine held a working meeting to plan the development of an electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure network for passenger and commercial electric transport.

The meeting was attended by Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Energy for Digital Development, Digital Transformations, and Digitalization Roman Andarak; Deputy Head of the Board of the Ukrainian Association of Electric Vehicle Market Participants (EV-UA) Vadym Ihnatov; e-mobility expert Maryna Kitina; and specialists from relevant departments of the Ministry of Energy.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk expressed her hope that the Verkhovna Rada will approve, in the second reading and in full, the draft law on the integration of Ukraine's electricity market into the EU market this September.

She emphasized this during the national telethon “United News.”

The Minister noted that Ukraine’s energy system is already technically synchronized with the European network, while work continues to align the legislative framework with EU standards.

Humanitarian aid from Azerbaijan has arrived in Ukraine to support its energy sector. The shipment includes more than 50 types of high- and low-voltage cables, generators of varying capacities, and transformer equipment.

“This assistance was provided under the agreement on the donation of energy equipment for the restoration of energy infrastructure,” stated Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk on her official Linkedin page.

During a meeting with the Chargé d’Affaires of the United Kingdom in Ukraine Charlotte Suren, Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk discussed key areas of energy cooperation within the framework of the Strategic Partnership Dialogue between Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

The parties focused on the development of nuclear energy and renewable energy sources, diversification of supply sources and routes, harmonization of Ukrainian legislation with EU law, and the further integration of Ukraine’s energy markets with those of the European Union.

Repair and restoration campaigns in preparation for the 2025–2026 heating season are proceeding according to plan, with some facilities even ahead of schedule.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk shared this information during the national telethon “United News.”

“Our number one task is to prepare all nuclear generation units to operate without interruption for yet another winter. Currently, the last two units are under maintenance, and we plan to complete all this work by October,” the Minister said.

Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Roman Andarak held a meeting with representatives of the U.S. company Exceed Geo Energy to discuss the development of geothermal energy in Ukraine.

“Given the risks triggered by Russian aggression, diversifying energy sources is crucial for ensuring stable electricity supply and increasing domestic generation. Geothermal energy is a promising source of low-carbon baseload power and offers opportunities for flexible and decentralized production,” Roman Andarak emphasized.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk held a working meeting with representatives of trade unions from the fuel and energy complex. The discussion focused on social protection and employment, wage payments and debt settlement, digitization of archives, and attracting investment for enterprise development. Particular attention was devoted to the transformation of the coal industry.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk announced this during the live broadcast of the “United News” telethon.

“Ukraine is proceeding according to plan in preparing for the 2025–2026 heating season across all areas we have outlined. This includes restoration and repair work to ensure equipment operates reliably throughout the heating period, and the accumulation of essential resource reserves,” she noted.

The implementation of ongoing projects and prospects for further cooperation aimed at strengthening and rebuilding Ukraine’s energy sector were the key topics discussed during an online meeting between Deputy Minister of Energy Roman Andarak and the leadership of the German state development bank KfW.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and the Delegation of the European Union, led by Jocelin Cornet, Head of Section for Reconstruction, Energy, Infrastructure and Environment, discussed strengthening Ukraine's energy resilience, preparations for the 2025-2026 heating season, and the implementation of European legislation in the energy sector.
