Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko met with Director of the Energy Community Secretariat Artur Lorkowski.
The head of the Ministry of Energy stressed that the Ukrainian energy sector managed to get through a difficult winter. This was made possible thanks to clearly defined priorities and effective cooperation with international partners. At the same time, preparations for the next heating season have already begun.
“It is important to carry out timely repairs and restoration work at the facilities damaged by the russian attacks. We have approved the repair campaign plan and have already started this work. We will also be grateful to our international partners for their support, either by providing equipment or making contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, which purchases the most necessary equipment,” said German Galushchenko.
The parties discussed organisational and financial issues of the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, established under the Energy Community Secretariat, as well as the need to use the proceeds from the immobilised russian assets to restore the energy sector.
The meeting focused on Ukraine’s further integration into the EU energy markets and the acceleration of the adoption of relevant legislation. The parties also discussed the corporate governance of NPC Ukrenergo and LLC GTS Operator of Ukraine.
Special attention was paid to regional energy security and the development of solutions that would ensure energy stability. (Government portal)
