- As a result of hostilities and attacks on energy facilities, some consumers in the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions remain temporarily without electricity. Restoration works are ongoing wherever security conditions allow. Energy workers are doing everything possible to restore power supply to all consumers as quickly as possible.
More than 80 tonnes of energy equipment provided by Iceland have been delivered from the warehouses of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine’s emergency energy assistance hubs to energy companies in the Ternopil, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Kirovohrad regions.
The equipment will be used to support the stable operation of the energy system, including electricity transmission and distribution, grid protection, as well as repair and restoration works.

Ukraine continues to strengthen the energy autonomy of healthcare facilities. In particular, the Regional Clinical Medical Centre for Socially Dangerous Diseases of the Poltava Regional Council has launched its own electricity generation.
The Centre provides specialised medical care to patients with tuberculosis, HIV infection, viral hepatitis and other infectious diseases. It conducts laboratory diagnostics and X-ray examinations, provides medical consultations and ensures multidisciplinary patient support. Approximately 250 people visit the facility every day.
Twelve units of energy equipment, with a total weight of 6.2 tonnes, have been delivered from the warehouses of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine’s emergency energy assistance hubs to critical infrastructure facilities in the Khmelnytskyi region.
Ukraine received diesel generators for backup power supply and oil-filled power transformers from its German partners to support the repair and restoration of electricity grids.
We thank our German partners for this assistance.
