First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal held a meeting with the Supervisory Board of NNEGC Energoatom, chaired by Rumina Velshi.

“We discussed the company’s tasks as part of preparations for the autumn-winter period. Nuclear generation remains the backbone of Ukraine’s power system. Scheduled maintenance is currently underway at NPP units to ensure they are fully prepared to operate under peak winter loads,” Denys Shmyhal noted.

Energy equipment weighing more than 27 tonnes has been delivered from the Ministry of Energy’s hubs to critical infrastructure enterprises in the Volyn and Kyiv regions. The humanitarian assistance provided by Finland includes diesel generators and circuit breakers of various voltage levels.

We thank the Finnish company Fingrid Oyj and the Government of Finland for their contribution to Ukraine’s energy resilience. Special thanks go to the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) for logistical support in delivering this assistance.

As a result of hostilities and attacks on energy infrastructure, some consumers in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Sumy regions are temporarily without electricity. Restoration works are underway wherever security conditions allow.

Unfortunately, yesterday an energy worker in the Kharkiv region was injured as a result of an enemy attack. The injured worker was taken to hospital and is receiving all necessary medical care.

“Every restored transmission line, reconnected substation and home, hospital or school brought back online after an enemy attack is the result of their tireless work and, at times, self-sacrifice. They keep our lights on despite enemy attacks involving drones, missiles and guided aerial bombs,” Denys Shmyhal emphasized.

A shipment from Latvia’s transmission system operator AS “Augstsprieguma tīkls” has been delivered from the Ministry of Energy’s emergency energy assistance hubs to a critical infrastructure enterprise in the Poltava region. The shipment includes a power transformer and additional equipment. The total weight of the assistance exceeds 77 tonnes.

We thank the Government of Latvia and AS “Augstsprieguma tīkls” for their support for Ukraine’s energy sector. Special thanks go to the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) for logistical assistance in delivering this support.

Following instructions from First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal, issued after a meeting of the Headquarters on the electricity supply situation in the Kherson region, and with the coordination of the Ministry of Energy, JSC Khersonoblenergo has received 46,500 litres of diesel fuel and will shortly receive a power transformer. The procurements were financed through the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal took part in the 6th Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen.

“Today, we spoke about resilience. Resilience is always built by people. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been attacking Ukraine’s energy system every day with guided aerial bombs, drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Yet the system is still alive and operational. This is thanks to our people who report for duty every day and continue doing their job,” Denys Shmyhal emphasized.

As a result of hostilities and attacks on energy infrastructure, some consumers in the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Chernihiv and Sumy regions are temporarily without electricity.

Restoration works are underway wherever security conditions allow. Energy workers are making every effort to restore power to all affected consumers as quickly as possible.

No power supply restrictions are expected today. Any updates regarding electricity supply are available through the official resources of the respective distribution system operators.

Thirty-five years ago, Ukraine restored its independence. Today, we are defending it with arms in our hands.

Despite all attempts by the enemy to destroy our statehood, we continue to build a strong, free and self-reliant Ukraine. Because we know what we are fighting for: our home, the people around us, and our land. For the simple things that have become the most precious: silence instead of air raid sirens, embraces instead of farewells, and light instead of darkness.
