In the frontline region, almost 1500 generators were handed over to more than 880 social facilities.
Zaporizhzhia region is 96% ready for the winter period. Hospitals, educational institutions, and the region’s water, heat, and gas supply facilities already have backup power, so they will be able to operate even during blackouts. The main task identified by authorities is protection against Russian attacks on the energy sector, said the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov.
For the frontline region, winter preparedness is above all a security issue, Fedorov emphasized. He explained, “The enemy systematically attacks the energy infrastructure, so we must be ready for various scenarios.”
There are already 23 cogeneration units of various capacities and 26 solar power plants operating in the region. More than 880 life-support and social-sector facilities received nearly 1500 generators.
Work is being carried out in three directions: protecting critical infrastructure, developing distributed generation, and building up reserves of alternative power sources.
In August, after another attack on the regional center, critical infrastructure was again switched to alternative power sources.
In spring, the NSDC approved comprehensive regional resilience plans, that is, a system of measures for protecting, backing up, and restoring critical infrastructure.
As of mid-August, backup power amounting to 918,5 MW had been provided across the country, which is 75,6% of the needs of heat and water supply facilities.
On how regions are preparing for winter and why communities lack resources, political analyst and expert on public administration, decentralization, and regional development Elina Lisovska told the story in a ZN.UA article titled “Is Ukraine ready for another wartime winter: what the first months of implementing the resilience plans showed.”
