The company is attracting international financing and modernizing generation capacity. An additional 177 MW of reserve generation has been provided for over 500,000 Ukrainians – this generation will already work for the needs of people this year.
During the first quarter, Naftogaz managed to attract about 430 million euros from the EBRD and the Government of the Kingdom of Norway, which will soon be directed towards the purchase of 1 billion cubic meters of imported natural gas. The company is negotiating with the government and international financial institutions to attract financing in the amount of 1 billion euros for the purchase of over 2 billion cubic meters of gas
Chumak emphasized that “preparation for the next winter will not be easy; it will require teamwork from all branches of government, involvement of international partners, and the effectiveness of decisions by the Naftogaz Group itself,” the company stated.
“During the last heating season, Naftogaz Group did the impossible – it sustained the heating season despite all challenges. And next winter, we need to do more than the impossible. We are preparing,” he noted.
