Every day, Ukrainian energy professionals work under exceptionally challenging conditions, restoring energy infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks and ensuring reliable electricity supply to homes, hospitals, businesses, and critical infrastructure facilities across the country.

To recognise their professionalism, courage, and dedicated service, the Government has established the annual Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Award for Outstanding Contribution to Strengthening Ukraine's Energy Resilience.

The first two stages of the special session for the sale of electricity under long-term bilateral contracts have been successfully completed. All electricity volumes offered for sale were fully allocated, with the auction results demonstrating strong market interest in the new mechanism.

The auctions were conducted through special trading sessions offering standard product packages with delivery periods covering August–September and August–December 2026.

The auctions were initiated by JSC NNEGC Energoatom and PJSC Ukrhydroenergo.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister of Energy of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal visited one of the coal mines in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where, at a depth of 480 metres, he met with miners who continue to descend underground and carry out their work despite constant Russian attacks and the ongoing security risks.

The mine was also visited by renowned Ukrainian musician Sviatoslav Vakarchuk, who expressed his support for energy sector workers—whose efforts help sustain the country's resilience—by performing some of his best-known songs for the miners underground.

Since the end of June, energy equipment provided with the support of the Government of the Netherlands has been delivered to the Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Poltava, Vinnytsia, Sumy, and Chernivtsi regions.

The delivered assistance includes power transformers, diesel generators, power cables, and liquid reagent dosing units. This equipment will support the restoration of damaged electricity networks, provide backup power for critical infrastructure, and ensure the uninterrupted operation of fuel and energy sector enterprises.
