In recent weeks, the enemy has changed its shelling tactics and focused on massive attacks not on the Ukrainian energy system as a whole, but on its elements in certain regions. Under such conditions, the support of energy workers by international partners has become even more relevant, in particular, in the context of strengthening the stability of the Ukrainian IPS against enemy attacks. Protective structures have already been built at most substations of the transmission system. Their effectiveness has already been proven dozens of times, when the equipment remained intact after enemy hits.
He informed the G7 diplomats about the readiness of the Ukrainian energy system for the heating season.
The transmission system network is ready to transport increased volumes of electricity in winter. But the risks caused by Russian shelling remain very high. To strengthen the resilience of our energy system, its ability to quickly recover after shelling, we need to continue accumulating a stock of scarce equipment. Without international support, this is very difficult.
