Zelenskyy: Ukraine wants to restore all energy facilities that are possible by winter

By the winter of 2024-2025, Ukraine intends to restore all energy facilities destroyed by Russia at which such work is possible. To do this, European partners will need equipment from idle power plants, as well as financial support, in the next three to four months.

This was stated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the opening ceremony of the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2024 in Berlin (Germany). According to him, we are talking specifically about the short term recovery, for which Ukraine needs direct financial assistance.

"In the short term, we must also implement a quick and inexpensive restoration of all energy facilities that can now be restored. Before winter. This is important: before winter, within the next 3-4 months. We know how to ensure this, we ask you for equipment from your shut down power plants and direct financial support. This will allow us to respond to the situation here and now,” Zelenskyy said.

According to him, decentralized, flexible gas generation could become an element of recovery. It, as Zelenskyy said, will solve the issue of energy shortages. And in the future it will be switched to hydrogen and will balance green energy.
