First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal held a meeting to review the energy supply situation in the Kharkiv region. He heard reports from the Head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, the Head of Ukrenergo, Vitalii Zaichenko, and representatives of energy companies.
The Kharkiv region continues to suffer daily Russian shelling. Recently, an energy facility was damaged as a result of an attack. Denys Shmyhal noted that repair crews are working around the clock to restore electricity and heat as quickly as possible.
During the meeting, participants discussed the region’s priority needs for equipment required to carry out urgent repair works.
A separate focus was placed on continuing the installation of cogeneration units, an area in which Kharkiv city and the region already have positive experience. The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the importance of accelerating these efforts to ensure stable heat supply for residents.
“Everything that energy companies need will be provided through the Ministry of Energy’s hubs. I have given the relevant instructions. We are also preparing requests to our international partners for the supply of energy equipment. This work is ongoing on a daily basis,” Denys Shmyhal stated.
