Thanks to the early completion of repairs at two nuclear power plant units and a drop in air temperature, the situation in the energy sector has stabilised, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said

‘However, we continue to prepare for the autumn-winter period and develop alternative sources of generation.We have already launched state support programmes for the construction of distributed generation. We have the first examples of lending to businesses and individuals to strengthen energy resilience,’ the Prime Minister said.

He noted that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had signed a law to remove import duties and VAT for energy equipment. The law came into force on 27 July. Now, citizens and businesses can import power generators, inverters, batteries, charging stations, etc. on a preferential basis.
