The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has completed the second stage of investing funds from the Financial Reserve in domestic government war bonds (OVDPs).

The Financial Reserve is formed through regular contributions from JSC NNEGC Energoatom. Previously, these funds were held in bank accounts, where they gradually lost value due to inflation. Investing in government securities protects the reserve against inflation, preserves its purchasing power, and increases its value through returns generated by government bonds.

Between January and the end of July 2026, 40 healthcare facilities commissioned their own electricity generation systems under the Ray of Hope project. The combined installed capacity of the commissioned solar power plants totals 3,249 kW.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal chaired a meeting with the leadership of NPC Ukrenergo, JSC NNEGC Energoatom, PJSC Ukrhydroenergo, Naftogaz Group, and the National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission (NEURC) to discuss preparations for the expected period of peak electricity demand caused by exceptionally hot weather.

“Weather forecasters predict an abnormal heatwave as early as next week, which, according to our estimates, could increase electricity consumption by 1 GW,” Denys Shmyhal said.

The Cherkasy Regional Centre for Disease Control and Prevention has commissioned a photovoltaic power plant and an autonomous backup power supply system.

In June 2026, more than 200 solar panels were installed on the premises of the Centre. The photovoltaic power plant has a capacity of 93 kW, while the battery storage system can store up to 115 kWh of electricity.
