Each winter for the next two years, temporary power cuts will occur in Ukraine. "To restore the capacity that needs to be restored now, technically we need about two years. Two winters we are almost guaranteed to have restrictions. For the second winter 2025-2026. they will be quite minimized, but it is still quite likely, I think they will be,” said the director of the Ukrainian Center for Energy Research Oleksandr Kharchenko.
He rated the current state of the Ukrainian energy system at 3 out of 12 points.
On June 14, the head of the company "Ukrenergo" Vladimir Kudrytsky reported that Ukraine will not be able to restore all the damaged units of the power plant before winter. According to the deputy head of the Ministry of Energy, Svetlana Grinchuk, the Ukrainian authorities are conducting negotiations with partners in the hope of increasing the possibility of importing electricity before the start of the heating season. However, even the increase in imports, according to her, will not be able to satisfy all needs.

In his turn, the adviser to the head of the presidential office, Mihail Podolyak, specified that the Kanevskaya HPP, Dnipro HPP and Zmiivskaya TPP were damaged. The Ministry of Energy announced the complete destruction of the Tripoli Thermal Power Plant, the largest energy production facility in the Kyiv region. According to Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, more than half of Ukraine's entire energy system is damaged. Citizens are regularly urged to save energy.
