Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko met with U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on the sidelines of the High-Level Ministerial Meeting in Paris dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the International Energy Agency.

The Ukrainian Energy Minister stressed that the enemy continued to shell Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, using modified tactics. At the same time, Ukraine’s energy system is operating stably, in particular thanks to the repair campaign, which also used equipment provided by international partners.

German Galushchenko thanked the United States for its support of the Ukrainian energy sector.

The two sides also noted the success of Ukrainian-American cooperation in the nuclear industry and stressed the need to deepen and expand it. In this context, the prospects for implementing projects to build new power units at the Khmelnytskyi NPP were highlighted.

The parties also discussed reforms in the Ukrainian energy sector, including the corporatisation of state-owned energy companies and the process of integrating Ukrainian energy markets into European ones.
