Russian shelling damaged 8.5 GW of generation in Ukraine since October 2025<\/h2>\n

As a result of Russian attacks since October 2025, Ukraine has damaged 8.5 GW of generating capacity<\/strong>, mainly on thermal and hydroelectric power plants<\/strong>. This was stated by the Minister of Economy Alexey Sobolev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to him, a significant number of energy facilities have already been restored, but they were repeatedly subjected to destruction<\/strong> during the new shelling.<\/p>\n

Recovery instead of protection<\/h3>\n

Alexey Sobolev<\/strong> stressed that protection of energy facilities would be much cheaper<\/strong>, rather than constant recovery from shocks, but the key problem remains Lack of air defence systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abThe facilities were restored, but they were destroyed again. This cycle is repeating itself,\u00bb the minister said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Record imports and generator operation<\/h3>\n

Due to the loss of generation, Ukraine is now imports a record 1.9 GW of electricity from Europe<\/strong>. In parallel, more than 1 GW of generating capacity<\/strong>, set by the business.<\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of severe frosts and new attacks<\/strong> thousands of households in Kyiv<\/strong>, Dnipro<\/strong> and Zaporizhzhia<\/strong> are left without electricity, water and heating.<\/p>\n

Urgent needs of the power system<\/h3>\n

According to the Minister of Economy, Ukraine has an immediate funding requirement of $1 billion<\/strong>. The funds are needed for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    procurement new generating equipment<\/strong>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    deployment mobile substations<\/strong>;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    moulding reserves and strategic stocks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Context.<\/h3>\n

    Russia is systematically attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure in order to destabilisation of the economy and civilian life<\/strong>, The risk of new large-scale blackouts remains, especially in autumn and winter. Despite the large-scale repairs, the risk of new large-scale blackouts remains without strengthening air defences and modernising the power system.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
