Activities to repair and replace the damaged equipment are underway. According to preliminary estimates, the amount of losses of NPC Ukrenergo due to the military aggression of russia amounts to more than UAH 70 billion. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced during a Government session on November 22.
"70 maintenance crews and over 1,000 qualified specialists are working to restore the power grids damaged by russian missiles and drones," said Denys Shmyhal.
The Prime Minister also stressed that our power plants now produce all the electricity for Ukraine and Ukrainians. He underlined that the state had not sold electricity to the European Union since October 11, when a massive attack on our energy system had begun.
In addition, the Prime Minister explained why some cities may be cut off from electricity more often than others.
"To put it simply and briefly, there are substations and networks that transport electricity between the power plant that produces electricity and our homes as end consumers. russian terrorists strike at these facilities. Because of this, it is sometimes impossible to transport large amounts of electricity to certain regions or districts. Therefore, the restrictions are uneven across the country," Denys Shmyhal explained.
The Prime Minister urged to rely only on official information regarding the situation in the energy sector provided by the President, the Government, the Ministry of Energy and NPC Ukrenergo.
