Ukraine is preparing for the new heating season under various scenarios. The Energy Headquarters reviewed electricity and gas balances and identified key tasks.
Ukraine is strengthening preparations of the energy system for winter, taking into account possible intensification of Russian strikes. At a meeting of the Energy Headquarters, government officials and leaders of the largest energy companies analyzed projected electricity and gas balances. Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi reported this on Monday, 10 August.
According to him, representatives of Naftogaz, Ukrenergo, Energoatom, Ukrhydroenergo, Centrenergo, DTEK and the Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine participated in the discussion.
"We reviewed projected electricity and gas balances, based on different scenarios for how winter could unfold," Koretskyi said.
Special attention was paid to repairs of damaged generation capacities and to installing additional protection at energy facilities. The government also plans to create reserves of fuel and necessary equipment so that, in case of new attacks, damaged infrastructure can be restored as quickly as possible.
"I focused everyone on priorities — protecting critical infrastructure facilities and creating reserve stocks of fuel and equipment," the prime minister said.
He said that during the meeting they identified areas where work needs to be accelerated. This is related both to winter preparations and to the "intensification and nature of Russian strikes."
"It is important that energy companies operate proactively and take on additional responsibility," Koretskyi emphasized.
Following the meeting, the prime minister issued corresponding instructions. Oversight of their implementation was assigned to the Ministry of Energy.
As reported, in July international partners directed another 180 million euros to the Ukrainian Energy Support Fund — funds came from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.
