June 29 – July 5

  • As a result of a massive Russian missile and drone attack on July 2, energy infrastructure facilities in Kyiv and several regions were damaged, leading to localized power and gas outages.
  • Due to the extreme heat, the Ministry of Energy instructed relevant agencies and energy sector enterprises to optimize repairs of generating facilities, accelerate the commissioning of at least 300 MW of thermal generation, and make more active use of cogeneration, energy storage systems, and electricity imports to meet peak demand.
  • The Cabinet of Ministers appointed Dominique Minière and Matthew Murray as independent members of the supervisory board of Energoatom, completing its composition following the early termination of the terms of office of two previous members in May 2026.
  • Naftogaz of Ukraine proposed restructuring its Eurobonds worth EUR 1.1 billion euros, extending their maturity dates to 2032–2033 and revising the coupon payment terms.
  • Commercial electricity imports to Ukraine rose by 37.2% to 64.6 GWh. In contrast, exports fell by 38.3% to 30.9 GWh. Thus, imports exceeded exports by a factor of 2.1.
  • The NEURC revised electricity tariffs for 32 distribution system operators (DSOs), including 23 regional DSOs, with the largest tariff increases for both voltage classes recorded at Sumyoblenergo JSC (+19.9% for the first class and +22.5% for the second), as well as at Rivneoblenergo, Zhytomyroblenergo, and Kirovohradoblenergo. Following the revision, the highest tariffs among regional DSOs for the first voltage class were set for Khersonoblenergo (934.32 UAH/MWh), Kirovogradoblenergo (856.86 UAH/MWh), and DTEK Donetsk Power Grids (755.52 UAH/MWh), and for the second voltage class—for Sumyoblenergo (4,114.94 UAH/MWh), DTEK Donetsk Power Grids (3,775.49 UAH/MWh), and Chernihivoblenergo (3,343.83 UAH/MWh).
  • The NEURC postponed the review of “Ukrenergo’s” tariff for electricity transmission due to a legislative conflict that arose after the law on market coupling took effect, which temporarily made it impossible to include costs for fulfilling public service obligations (PSOs) in the tariff, specifically compensation to renewable energy producers. The regulator expects the technical error to be resolved through legislative action and proposes revising the tariff effective August 1, 2026.
