The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has completed 199 deliveries of energy equipment provided by international partners and previously operated at power plants across Europe that have since been decommissioned. The total weight of the transferred equipment amounts to 3,300 tonnes.

This was announced by First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Energy of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal.

The equipment is already being effectively used at energy facilities in the Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Khmelnytskyi, Rivne, Dnipropetrovsk, and other regions.

Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has received 4,314 pieces of energy equipment, including generators, transformers, modular boiler houses, combined heat and power (CHP) units, boilers, and other essential equipment.

- Last night, Russia launched another large-scale combined attack against Ukraine. As a result of strikes on energy infrastructure, a number of consumers in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions remain temporarily without electricity.

- Energy workers are making every effort to restore power supply to households as quickly as possible. Emergency restoration works are ongoing around the clock.

Throughout June, Ukrainian energy workers restored electricity supply to nearly 4 million consumers who had lost power as a result of Russian attacks and hostilities.

Restoration work continued in regions where energy infrastructure had been damaged by Russian strikes and ongoing combat. Despite the challenging security situation, energy workers promptly repaired damaged facilities and restored electricity supply to consumers.

- As a result of hostilities and attacks on energy infrastructure, some consumers in the Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions remain temporarily without electricity.

- The most challenging situation is in the Donetsk region, where damage to energy facilities caused by hostilities and enemy shelling has left the largest number of consumers without power.

A regular meeting of the Emergency Response Headquarters for the Energy Sector, chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal, was held today.

Participants reviewed the current situation in the power system, the progress of restoration works, the development of distributed generation, the protection of energy infrastructure, and the mobilisation of international support.

Denys Shmyhal stressed that exceptionally high temperatures combined with continued Russian attacks are placing enormous pressure on Ukraine’s power system.

Ukraine continues its systematic efforts to strengthen the energy autonomy of healthcare facilities, enabling them to provide uninterrupted medical care under all circumstances. One of the key areas of this work is the installation of solar power plants and backup power systems in hospitals.

A comprehensive autonomous power supply system has recently been completed at the Vitsynskyi Ostap Petrovych Central Hospital in Khust. The system includes an 80 kW rooftop solar power plant, 20 kW inverters, and eight battery storage units.
