- As of the morning of 7 January, the situation in Ukraine’s energy system remains challenging due to ongoing Russian strikes, but it is under control. Last night, the enemy attacked energy infrastructure facilities in Dnipropetrovsk region, resulting in power outages as of this morning. Emergency restoration works are ongoing.

- Following restoration efforts, electricity supply has been fully restored in the city of Slavutych, which had been affected by an attack the previous day. The city now has power again.

Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Roman Andarak met with the newly appointed Energy Advisor of the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Ukraine, Ms. Daiva Matoniene.

- Overnight, the enemy carried out another attack on energy infrastructure facilities in a number of regions of Ukraine. As of the morning, consumers remain without electricity in Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Donetsk oblasts. As a result of the enemy attack, the city of Slavutych is completely without power supply. A strike was also recorded on one of the generating facilities in Donetsk oblast. Emergency repair and restoration works are ongoing wherever the security situation allows.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has introduced amendments to Resolution No. 1055 of 12 December 2018, extending the fulfilment by universal service providers of special obligations imposed on participants in the electricity market.

The purpose of the decision is to create conditions for reliable and uninterrupted electricity supply to household consumers and small businesses.

The document stipulates that, during the period of martial law in Ukraine, universal electricity services for consumers will continue to be provided by the same electricity suppliers.

The development of a decentralised energy system is one of Ukraine’s key priorities under wartime conditions. Distributed generation includes gas-fired generation (gas turbine units, gas piston units and combined heat and power units), renewable energy facilities connected to distribution systems, as well as energy storage systems.

Such generation already plays a significant role at the regional level, meeting the needs of critical infrastructure facilities.

Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Roman Andarak participated in the opening of the official representative office of the Japanese company Nihon Cyber Defence Co. Ltd.

During a meeting with the company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kartan McLaughlin, held as part of the Deputy Minister’s working visit to Ukraine, the parties discussed current cyber threats to the energy sector in the context of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine.

- 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.
