Ministry of Energy of Ukraine

Ukraine is actively preparing for possible winter power outages due to serious damage, but is striving to minimize outages as much as possible.

The Cabinet of Ministers instructed the Ministry of Energy to regularly inform the public through briefings on the state of the energy system and key issues to prevent information manipulation.

Power supply has been restored to all consumers in Poltava region that were cut off due to a Russian missile attack, with imports from 5 countries planned as the schedule of power outages across Ukraine is reduced.

The enemy shelled energy facilities in two frontline regions, and bad weather left consumers in Sumy and Chernihiv oblasts without power. Power outage schedules are being applied until the end of the day, and significant imports are planned.

The Russian army has struck a high-voltage substation in eastern Ukraine, causing a power outage for households and interrupting train traffic, and restoration work is underway.

Due to bad weather, about 41,000 subscribers remain without power supply in 125 localities, and planned power outages are planned from 14:00 to 19:00, with a possible change in the shutdown period, according to the Ministry of energy.

Germany allocates 30. 4 million euros to Ukraine to improve the efficiency of electricity transmission, including the reconstruction of a substation with an automated control system to meet ENTSO-E requirements for reliability and safety, improving synchronous operation with the European energy system.

Due to the emergency situation in the power grid, consumers in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions were de-energized, and hourly blackouts are planned for today in Ukraine from 16:00 to 22:00.

Ukraine is testing an improved approach to power outage schedules aimed at reducing the number of hourly restrictions.

At one of the nuclear power plants in Ukraine, a 1,000 MW power unit was put into operation 10 days earlier than planned after scheduled repairs, which reduced the electricity shortage caused by Russian attacks.

Ukrainian energy minister Galushchenko met with IAEA Director Grossi to discuss nuclear safety, preventing power outages at Ukrainian nuclear power plants, and coordinating efforts to ensure their safe operation in the face of Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

As a result of the night attack of Russian troops, there were no affected energy facilities, but the enemy does not give up hope of shelling civilian energy infrastructure for the purpose of a total blackout.

Ukraine's energy minister has warned EU ambassadors that Russia's goal is to cause a complete power outage in Ukraine, and the country is preparing for a difficult situation in winter.

Ukraine's Energy Ministry denied a Financial Times article claiming that Ukrainians could spend most of the day without electricity by winter, saying it showed signs of disinformation and psychological surgery in Russia's interests.

The energy minister discussed cooperation with the EBRD to strengthen the stability of Ukraine's energy system and increase generating capacity in the run-up to winter amid significant damage caused by enemy attacks.

The Verkhovna Rada has ratified the Ukrainian-Japanese Convention on the elimination of double taxation, which sets restrictions on the taxation of dividends, interest and royalties between the two countries to facilitate economic relations and reduce tax barriers.

In Ukraine today, restrictions on electricity supply are applied during the day. Due to bad weather, 200 settlements are de-energized.

Ukraine will work with partners so that funds from the Ukraine Facility fund worth 50 billion euros from the EU can be raised faster for energy recovery, and the government is preparing to expand the affordable lending program "5-7-9" to distributed generation projects.

As of today, Ukraine has lost more than 9. 2 MW of capacity due to enemy strikes on critical infrastructure and electric power facilities.

Due to bad weather, 68 settlements were de-energized, a team of power engineers came under fire in the Donetsk region, and during the day in Ukraine there are restrictions on the supply of electricity, while significant, but less than the day before, electricity imports are expected.

The government will promote alternative energy generation, consider the abolition of import duties and VAT on energy equipment, the provision of preferential loans for equipment and the installation of gas piston installations in each region to prepare for the difficult heating season against the background of Russia's attempts to destroy the energy system.

In Ukraine today, power supply restrictions are applied during the day, significant imports are planned, and more than 55 thousand subscribers are de-energized due to bad weather.

Ukrenergo has extended the period of limiting electricity supply in all regions of Ukraine for an hour, from 18:00 to midnight, due to russia's attacks on power facilities in many regions.

At night, russia attacked energy facilities in 5 regions, which may cause potential changes in the schedules of power outages in Ukraine.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved an increase in electricity tariffs for individual and collective domestic consumers to UAH 4. 32/ kWh until April 30, 2025, while maintaining a preferential tariff of UAH 2.64/ kWh for consumers using electric heating during the heating period.

Due to the enemy attack in Kiev, about 600 subscribers were left without electricity, and bad weather led to power outages in more than 60 settlements of the Khmelnitsky and Transcarpathian regions, affecting about 6,800 subscribers.

Due to enemy attacks in the Khmelnitsky region, more than 10 thousand subscribers were left without electricity. There are no restrictions on the supply of electricity to consumers today.

The minister of energy of Ukraine discussed with the Turkish ambassador the difficult situation in the Ukrainian energy system caused by russian attacks, and cooperation to increase the capacity to generate electricity, including through mobile power plants and distributed generation, to survive the next winter.

The enemy attacked a power facility in Rivne region. No restrictions on consumers are expected today.

The situation in the power system remains stable but challenging: power engineers are working to repair facilities damaged by Russian attacks and install new small distributed generation capacities to maintain stable operation during peak hours.
