The Prime Minister named the amount of energy that Ukraine’s energy sector lacks before winter.
The energy sector’s unmet needs ahead of winter amount to approximately 650 million euros (citing Interfax-Ukraine).
“The fourth priority is energy sustainability. The Ukrainian Energy Support Fund has already accumulated over €2 billion. However, the industry’s unmet needs ahead of next winter are approximately €650 million. Therefore, the pace of support mobilization cannot be reduced. This winter will objectively be challenging.”
– said Sergey Koretsky, Prime Minister, at the meeting,
The Prime Minister emphasized that Ukraine must do more than simply rebuild what was destroyed, as the old Soviet energy infrastructure was ineffective.
“The fact that, unfortunately, Russia is destroying it, fortunately, gives us the opportunity, with the help of our partners, to build new, more efficient distributed generation. And at the same time, it reduces carbon emissions. Therefore, we must continue on this path,” Koretsky added.
