Generation and Consumption
The situation in Ukraine’s energy system remains challenging. Energy workers continue to eliminate the consequences of yesterday’s and previous large-scale missile and drone attacks. Restoration works are ongoing around the clock.
During the night, the enemy continued attacks on energy infrastructure. As a result, new power outages occurred by morning in Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions. Repair crews of regional electricity companies are working to restore damaged equipment as quickly as possible.
– During the night and morning, the enemy carried out another, already ninth large-scale attack on Ukraine’s energy system since the beginning of the year. As a result, by morning, consumers in Rivne, Ternopil, and Khmelnytskyi regions were almost completely without power. Outages due to attacks were also reported in Vinnytsia, Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kharkiv regions. Emergency restoration works will begin as soon as the security situation allows.
The European Commission has completed one of its largest coordinated logistics operations to date, delivering a full set of thermal power plant equipment from Lithuania to Ukraine under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
They are the first to arrive where a Russian strike has left darkness – always under constant danger, day and night.
To restore the light, they never stop. When homes are lit again, it is their work, their courage, their resilience.
Our energy workers are the ones who keep Ukraine’s lights on.
Happy Energy Worker’s Day! Thank you!
Its answer: They are the people who bring light and defeat darkness!
In every step – courage.
In every decision – knowledge and unique experience.
Happy Energy Worker’s Day. Thank you for the light that stands on human strength.
- The Christmas week begins under mass attacks by the enemy. Last night, the Russian Federation targeted energy facilities in Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zhytomyr regions. By morning, some consumers had electricity restored. Emergency recovery work is ongoing.
- Fuel supply situation: Fuel is being imported into Ukraine through a combination of independent logistics routes, including road, rail, and maritime transport. The situation remains stable and under control.
Dear energy workers, colleagues, and friends,
Today is your professional holiday. It is very symbolic that it falls on 22 December – a day when the sun prevails, when darkness recedes, giving way to light and energy. May this also be true in our work!
Your efforts lay the foundation for life in the country. The operation of hospitals, transport, communications, water and heat supply, industry, and defense – all of this is impossible without your dedication. Without light, life itself is impossible.
