Shmyhal: Situation in energy sector difficult, but under control
Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal says that the situation in the Ukrainian energy sector is currently difficult, but under control, and energy workers are working around the clock to overcome the consequences of Russian attacks.
"The situation in the energy sector is now difficult, but under control of Ukrenergo dispatchers. It is important that the system has maintained and maintains its integrity. Work to overcome the consequences of the attack does not stop for a minute. Energy workers, rescuers, and deminers are working 24/7. Emergency shutdowns of consumers have been canceled in all regions, but at present, shutdown schedules are being applied," Shmyhal wrote on his Telegram channel following the government meeting on Friday.
He reported that Ukraine continues to import electricity from Europe, and also recalled that a decision had been made earlier that the shutdowns would not apply to businesses that import or produce 60% of the consumption volume on their own.
"The Minister of Energy and the head of Ukrenergo must now report to the public every day. Provide a full picture. Inform about what work is being done," the Prime Minister emphasized.
