Successfully completing the heating season, repairing the damage caused by the russian barbarians, ensuring the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure, strengthening the security of energy facilities, especially nuclear power plants is a mandatory minimum program, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal stressed during the Government session on January 3.
“Plans for energy decarbonization and green transformation remain relevant. The war has made these challenges even more urgent. We will actively use the potential of renewable energy: solar, wind, hydropower generation and hydrogen technologies,” noted the Head of Government.
According to the Prime Minister, russian attacks push Ukraine to a radical reform – building a decentralized energy system. Then it will be less vulnerable to enemy attacks.
“We are talking about the creation of mini-power plants and small generation facilities integrated into the existing energy system,” explained Denys Shmyhal.
A legislative framework will be created in 2023 to reform the State Reserve Agency, in particular, this issue concerns the formation of minimum reserves of oil and petroleum products to ensure its continuous supply to the domestic market. The state will continue to invest in increasing its own gas production to ensure full energy independence in this regard, the Prime Minister said. (Government portal/Business World Magazine)
