The first thematic conference as a follow-up to the Peace Summit will be held online in August. It will be devoted to the third point of the Peace Formula "Energy Security". UNN reports this with reference to the OP.
It is reported that the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, held an expanded meeting of the working group on the implementation of the "Energy Security" clause of the Peace Formula.

"The first such conference will be dedicated to the third point of the Peace Formula, Energy Security. The event will take place this year in August in an online format," the statement said.
Mr. Yermak emphasized that the total loss of generation due to Russian shelling amounted to 9 GW. According to him, July of this year was the most difficult for Ukrainians and the economy due to an unprecedented electricity shortage.

Minister of Energy Herman Halushchenko gave a detailed report on the consequences of attacks on energy infrastructure.
"The outcome of this conference should be an agreed communiqué that will reflect the key agreements for the sake of energy security," summarized Yermak.
