FEBRUARY 9-15

  • On the night of February 12, Russia launched a massive strike on Ukraine’s energy system, using 219 strike UAVs and 25 missiles. Air defense forces destroyed 87% of the air targets. The main targets were power generation facilities and substations in Kyiv, Odesa, and Dnipro, which caused emergency power outages in a number of regions. In Kyiv, CHP–5 and CHP–6 were damaged, leaving nearly 107,000 customers without electricity and 2,600 multiapartment buildings without heat. In Odesa,
    approximately 300,000 consumers were left without water due to damage to an energy facility, and in the Dnipropetrovsk region, a number of cities and districts were left without power, and heat supply was temporarily suspended for 10,000 consumers in Dnipro.
  • The electricity deficit in the Ukrainian power system has decreased from 5–6 GW to 4.3–4.5 GW amid warming temperatures. Provided there are no new Russian attacks by the end of February, restrictions will be applied at the level of 3–3.5 shifts out of a possible 6, according to Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal.
  • There were no commercial exports of electricity from Ukraine. Imports fell by 2.7% to 310.8 GWh.
  • In 2025, the Polish company Orlen supplied 700 mcm of liquefied natural gas to Ukraine via regasification terminal in Świnoujście.
  • Since the start of the full–scale invasion, 1.4 GW of distributed gas generation has been commissioned in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Energy.
  • The Verkhovna Rada adopted in the second reading a draft law “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine Regarding the Improvement of Competitive Conditions for the Production of Electricity from Alternative Energy Sources,” which, among other things, provides for changes to the auction mechanism for the distribution of support quotas for electricity producers from renewable energy sources.
  • Pursuant to a joint memorandum, Ukrainian banks provided financing for energy projects worth UAH 36.6 billion in 21 regions from June 1, 2024, to February 1, 2026: almost 3,000 loans for businesses worth UAH 34 billion and over 14,000 loans to natural persons worth UAH 2.6 billion, which enabled the implementation of generation projects with a total capacity of 1.373 GW.
  • The Netherlands announced an additional contribution of EUR 35 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, increasing the total amount of assistance through this instrument to EUR 100 million.
