Kyiv • UNN
Denys Shmyhal said that the passage of winter depends on the intensity of Russian attacks on the energy system. Ukraine is increasing electricity imports and has sufficient energy reserves.
The passage of winter depends primarily on the intensity of Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy system.
This was stated by the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal during the Kyiv International Economic Forum, a correspondent of UNNreports.
Energy. The situation is now under control, all the necessary repairs have been carried out and the power facilities have been protected. The passage of the winter depends primarily on the intensity of Russian attacks on our energy system. We are preparing in all possible ways. We agreed to increase the physical volume of electricity imports from 1.7 to 2.1 GW
He noted that there is a separate agreement on an additional amount of so-called emergency support.
We continue to develop distributed generation. Government support programs are available for businesses to install alternative energy sources. We have a sufficient stock of various equipment, enough gas in our storage facilities and enough coal in our warehouses. Businesses can also import electricity to protect themselves from potential blackouts in winter
AddendumAddendum
Advisor to the Prime Minister of Ukraine, member of the Supervisory Board of Ukrenergo Yuriy Boyko reported that the power company managed to restore a third of the generating capacities that were destroyed by Russian shelling, so it is expected that in winter the electricity will either not be turned off at all or there will be certain restrictions, provided that the air temperature does not drop below -5 degrees.
