Thanks to the early completion of repairs at two nuclear power plants and a drop in air temperature, the situation in the energy sector has stabilized
At the same time, he said, preparations for the autumn-winter period and the development of alternative generation sources are ongoing. "We have already launched programs to support the development of distributed generation. There are the first examples of lending to businesses and individuals to strengthen energy sustainability," the Prime Minister said.
He also pointed out that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had signed a law abolishing import duties and VAT for energy equipment. "The law came into force on July 27.
