Government simplifies the transfer of energy equipment to stabilise electricity supply during the war

The Government has adopted a decision to simplify the transfer of energy equipment to stabilise electricity supply during the war. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko.

"Today, at a Government session, a decision was made that allows electricity distribution system operators to lease state-owned power equipment without auctions," said the Head of Government. "Transformers, cables, and other equipment that is currently idle on the balance sheets of state-owned enterprises can be used to quickly restore power after shelling. In the context of constant attacks, these resources must be used where they are needed immediately."

The Ministry of Energy will coordinate the accounting of such equipment and determination of the needs of the energy system. After that, the equipment will be promptly transferred to power grid operators for use in the field.

The new procedure will remain in effect for the duration of martial law and for six months after its termination.
