The Verkhovna Rada abolished the import duty and VAT on energy equipment and its components.
This follows from a statement by the Ministry of Energy, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"Such steps are aimed at speeding up restoration and repair work at energy facilities, increasing the amount of purchased equipment, developing distributed generation, and improving energy efficiency and energy independence of Ukraine as a whole. I am sure that this will make it possible to expand the opportunities for installing generating plants in the regions and strengthen the stability of the energy system during a difficult situation with electricity supply," said Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.
According to him, this will greatly simplify the opportunity for individuals and businesses to provide themselves with alternative sources of energy.
Purchases and supplies of generating equipment for companies of the fuel and energy complex at the expense of the Energy Support Fund are also ongoing.
The total amount of contributions to the fund is more than EUR 551 million.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Ukraine intends to build 1 GW of flexible gas generation in 2024 and another 4 GW in the coming years.
