With the beginning of the heating season, one can expect massive attacks by the russian federation on the energy industry of Ukraine.
The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksandr Lytvynenko announced this.
"With the beginning of the heating season, you can expect massive Russian strikes on energy," he said at the opening of the Energy in Industry-2024 exhibition in Kyiv.
According to Lytvynenko, the Ukrainian energy industry during the war showed its ability to implement innovative solutions and, despite everything, the enemy's intentions to destroy the economy of Ukraine do not achieve their goal.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, before the start of the full-scale armed invasion of the russian federation on February 24, 2022, Ukraine produced 44.1 GW of electricity.
At the same time, in the winter before the start of the war, electricity consumption was about 26 GW, and surplus electricity was exported.
The occupation of part of the Ukrainian territory by the russian federation led to a decrease in electricity production capacity by 18 GW.
Until the winter of 2023-2024, Ukraine was able to produce only about 17.8 GW of electricity per hour, while the peak winter consumption reached 18.5 GW per hour, this shortfall was settled by importing electricity.
At the same time, since the end of March 2024, due to russian shelling, Ukraine has lost more than 9 GW of generating capacity.
