- On the second day of the new year, the enemy continued attacks on energy infrastructure facilities. Overnight, strikes were recorded in Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. As of the morning, consumers in Zaporizhzhia oblast, including the city of Zaporizhzhia, as well as in other frontline regions, remain without power supply.
The year 2025 once again demonstrated that in the most challenging moments Ukraine is not left alone. International partners continue to provide systematic support to Ukraine’s energy sector.
Through the Emergency Energy Assistance Hub, Ukraine received more than 410 humanitarian shipments of energy equipment with a total weight exceeding 5,382 tonnes. Assistance was delivered to 121 fuel and energy sector enterprises as well as critical infrastructure facilities across the country.
In 2025, Ukraine fully halted the transit of Russian gas through its gas transmission system (GTS). As of 1 January, Ukraine’s GTS has been operating without the transit of Russian gas.
At the same time, since the beginning of the year, approximately 6.9 billion cubic metres of gas have been transported through interconnection entry points. These volumes include both gas imports to meet Ukraine’s domestic needs and gas transportation via Ukraine’s GTS to supply other countries.
Generation and Consumption
During the night, the enemy carried out a drone attack on energy facilities in several regions of Ukraine. As of the morning, a significant number of consumers are without power in Volyn and Odesa regions, with new outages also reported in Chernihiv region. Emergency restoration works are ongoing, and energy workers are making every effort to restore electricity supply as quickly as possible.
The year 2025 became a year of kilometres of restored power lines, dozens of sleepless nights when emergency crews were dispatched to damaged facilities, and thousands of moments when hearts stood still as missiles targeted gas production sites, substations, thermal power plants and hydropower facilities—along with megawatts of distributed generation brought online.
The past year was marked by painful losses and superhuman efforts. We bow our heads in deep respect and pay tribute to those who remained forever in 2025.
Since the establishment of the Ukraine Energy Support Fund in April 2022, 36 international partners have contributed a total of EUR 1.613 billion to the restoration of Ukraine’s energy sector. In the days leading up to the New Year, additional contributions amounting to EUR 105.74 million were made to the Fund.
The largest of these recent contributions came from the European Commission (€90 million). The United Kingdom transferred EUR 11.42 million, Estonia EUR 2 million, the Netherlands EUR 1 million, Portugal EUR 600,000, Austria EUR 500,000, and Latvia EUR 217,000.
In 2025, the Government approved the Programme for the Operation of State-Owned Coal Mining Enterprises through 2030. The document was developed by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine to provide a comprehensive solution to the long-standing challenges facing the state-owned segment of the coal industry.
Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Roman Andarak held an online meeting with the Minister of Climate and Energy of the Republic of Estonia, Andres Sutt.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the current situation in Ukraine’s energy sector and the urgent needs to ensure energy sustainability amid ongoing targeted attacks by the Russian Federation.
