Ukraine aims to restore 3 GW of damaged generation in 2025, adding to 2024's 4 GW – PM
Ukrainian energy companies plan to restore 3 GW of power generation capacity damaged by Russian attacks in 2025, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced on Telegram.
"In 2024, about 4 GW of thermal and hydropower capacity was restored. This year, we aim to recover another 3 GW," Shmyhal stated.
He noted that Ukraine continues building new facilities and developing distributed generation, which meets local needs and makes the energy system less vulnerable to attacks.
"In 2024, 233 generation facilities with a total capacity of over 830 MW were connected, mainly gas turbine, gas piston, and cogeneration units," Shmyhal said.
For 2025, the Ministry of Energy and other agencies have been tasked with commissioning nearly 900 MW of distributed generation. Shmyhal also reminded that during martial law, importing energy equipment is exempt from VAT. This includes equipment for restoration, repairs, and the creation of new distributed generation facilities.
