The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine at a meeting on May 24 approved a resolution that obliges Oblenergo to ensure a uniform and fair sequence of power outages for consumers. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, as quoted by the government press center.

“Priority energy supply will be provided to critical infrastructure facilities, hospitals, military enterprises and enterprises performing mobilization tasks,” Shmyhal noted.

In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers supported the draft law, which will make it possible to significantly improve the situation on the electricity market and solve the issue of debts on the balancing market.

In particular, they propose the creation of special accounts for a wide range of subjects, which will make it possible to ensure an acceptable level of settlements, Shmyhal said.

“This will make it possible to reduce the debts to Ukrenergo and improve the situation with the stability of our energy system,” the prime minister said.

Shmyhal stated at the beginning of April that 80% of Ukraine's heat generation was destroyed.

In mid-May, electricity in Ukraine began to be turned off due to the consequences of five missile and drone attacks carried out by the aggressor country Russia on the Ukrainian energy system in the spring, as well as due to the cooling and the increase in consumption.

May 19 in “ Ukrenergo” stated that warming in Ukraine has somewhat reduced electricity consumption, which will probably make it possible not to disconnect consumers at night and in the morning, but it will not be possible to completely avoid shutdowns yet.
