Minister of Energy German Galushchenko noted that with the necessary funding and appropriate repairs, almost 3 GW of electricity generation can be restored by the end of the year.

According to him, thanks to our partners' assistance, Ukraine already has gas-fired combustion plants providing distributed electricity generation and supporting our energy system.

The Minister informed the participants of the meeting about the priority needs for restoration, repair and launch of generation at the facilities affected by Russian missile strikes, implementation of distributed generation projects, and provision of backup power sources for critical infrastructure.

Vasyl Shkurakov, Acting Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, outlined the needs of our country's regions and certain cities for block-modular and modular boiler plants. With the help of partners, a significant number of these requests are already being met, particularly in Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region.

Another topic discussed was the need for cogeneration units and generators, which would allow for a more independent heating system.
