Ukraine spent $2.3B on the restoration and protection of its energy facilities.

As Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reported, the financing of preparations for the winter period took place both with Ukrainian funds and with help from international partners, including the World Bank, EIB, EBRD, EU, USA, Japan, Northern Environmental Finance Corporation, and USAID.

According to him, Ukraine continues to prepare the energy system for the heating season, taking into consideration the expected Russian attacks on energy facilities with the onset of cold weather. Currently, preparations for the autumn-winter period are in the final stage. Seven nuclear power units have already been repaired, and two more will be connected on the eve of the start of the heating season. Their total capacity will be 7.8 GW.

At the beginning of the season, 25 TPP power units will be operational, providing 4.5 GW of power. Also, 35 hydroelectric power station units with a capacity of about 2.3 GW have been repaired. According to the Ministry of Energy, 804 MW of the planned additional 1.7 GW of capacity have already been added to the system.
