The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine hosted a meeting of the Working Group on the development of a Draft Action Plan (Roadmap) for the deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) technologies in Ukraine. In addition to experts from the Ministry and industry enterprises, the Working Group includes representatives of central executive authorities, the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and other relevant organizations and institutions.

First Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine Artem Nekrasov emphasized the strategic role of nuclear energy for Ukraine:

Japan will continue to assist Ukraine in strengthening its energy security amid ongoing Russian attacks on critical infrastructure. Ukrainian Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk announced this following a meeting with Masashi Nakagome, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Ukraine, and representatives of the JICA Ukraine Office.

Deputy Ministers of Energy of Ukraine Roman Andarak and Olga Yukhymchuk held a meeting with representatives of the Danish Energy Agency and the Embassy of Denmark in Ukraine within the framework of the Ukrainian-Danish Energy Partnership Programme (UDEPP).

The discussions focused on the results achieved under the current phase of cooperation and outlined future areas of joint work. The Danish side presented key outcomes in integrating renewable energy into the power system, advancing training and energy modeling, promoting distributed generation, and improving energy efficiency.

False reports about the start date of the heating season are actively spreading online. The Government Resolution on the Public Service Obligations (PSO) in the gas market, which mentions 1 November 2025, has no relation to the actual commencement of heating in residential buildings.

The development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is among the key priorities of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, primarily in the context of strengthening the country’s energy security and reducing its dependence on imported energy resources.

Measures to promote electromobility are outlined, in particular, in the National Renewable Energy Action Plan until 2030, the National Energy and Climate Plan, and the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

The situation in Ukraine’s power system remains under control, and no emergency outage schedules have been introduced in any region by the Dispatch Center of Ukrenergo, the national transmission system operator. At the same time, the restoration work of energy crews continues to be complicated by constant enemy shelling.

This was reported by Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk during a broadcast of the national telethon “United News.”

The introduction of small modular reactors (SMRs) represents a key opportunity for Ukraine to strengthen its energy security and transition to carbon-free power generation, according to Artem Nekrasov, First Deputy Minister of Energy of Ukraine.

He made this statement during a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Energy, Housing, and Utilities, where members of parliament presented a draft law outlining the principles for introducing SMRs in Ukraine.

Minister of Energy of Ukraine Svitlana Grynchuk conducted a working visit to energy facilities that sustained damage as a result of Russian acts of terror. During the visit, she received detailed reports on the progress of restoration efforts and instructed officials to develop mechanisms and technical solutions to enhance the physical protection of power generation facilities.

The Government of Ukraine has extended the validity of the Regulation on the Imposition of Special Obligations (PSO) on entities operating in the natural gas market until 31 March 2026.

The decision also extends the fixed gas prices established to support households and electricity producers. This measure will ensure the reliable, uninterrupted, and safe supply of natural gas, as well as the security and stability of the natural gas market and Ukraine’s energy system.

Despite another massive Russian missile strike on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the national power system remains under control. Energy workers have already begun restoring electricity supply in the affected regions, Ukrainian Minister of Energy Svitlana Grynchuk reported during a broadcast of the “Yedyni Novyny” national telethon.
