Ukraine is modernizing its energy system with the help of Japan by introducing state-of-the-art technologies at gas compressor stations and mobile gas turbines.

Ukraine is planning to conduct a stress test of its gas transportation system in 2024 to test its ability to operate in wartime conditions without russian gas transit.

There is no shortage of electricity, but in some regions there are power outages due to damage caused by the fighting.

Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko discussed deepening cooperation in the energy sector with his counterparts from the UK, France and Lithuania at a ministerial meeting in Paris on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the International Energy Agency.

The United States will continue to support Ukraine's energy sector and help diversify nuclear fuel supplies, said Jeffrey Payette.

Ukraine and Italy discussed the West's refusal to buy russian gas to ensure Europe's energy security and the transition to renewable energy sources.

The U. S. Secretary of Energy and the Ukrainian Minister of Energy discussed expanding cooperation in the nuclear industry and the prospects for the construction of new power units at the Khmelnytsky Nuclear Power Plant.

The EU Commissioner for Energy informed Ukraine that the EU is not interested in extending the gas transit contract with Russia and is focused on supporting Ukraine and reducing its dependence on Russian gas.

Ukraine's Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said that deepening cooperation with American partners in the nuclear industry could help remove Russia from global nuclear markets.

President Zelenskyy chaired a meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief's Staff to discuss the production of drones, the production of shells, the situation on the frontline, particularly in Avdiivka, the construction of fortifications, and the restoration of energy infrastructure after Russian strikes.

Herman Galushchenko spoke about plans to complete the construction of KhNPP, which will begin in 2024. It is planned that KhNPP will receive 4 new power units, including 2 power units based on the American AP1000 technology.
