“The last massive Russian missile attack had destructive consequences for the Ukrainian energy industry. 1 unit of a thermal power plant in the east of Ukraine and 8 units of a thermal power plant in the west were damaged. Three main substations and one overhead line were also damaged. This led to an increase in the deficit capacity in the power system, which forces us to apply emergency shutdowns every day, starting from January 15,” explained the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
At the same time, according to Denys Shmyhal, the power system of Ukraine survived, and remained intact and manageable.
The government of Ukraine plans to purchase energy equipment worth more than 100 million euros using the funds of the Energy Support Fund.
