Restoration of the power grid
Earlier, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal stated that following the resumption of regular, large-scale attacks on the energy sector in October 2025, Russia had damaged over 9 GW of capacity at thermal power stations, combined heat and power plants, and hydroelectric power stations.
Shmyhal later reported that Ukraine has the capacity to restore 2 GW of generation by the end of May.
Shmyhal also stated that the Ukrainian government plans to raise €5 billion from international partners this year for the restoration and modernisation of the energy sector.
As a reminder, on 5 March, Ukraine resumed electricity exports at a minimum level during certain hours of the day. Supplies are made exclusively when there is a surplus in the power system.
