FEBRUARY 16-22

  • On the nights of February 17 and 22, Russia carried out massive missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy, water, and logistics infrastructure, resulting in power outages and disruptions to heat and water supply in a number of regions, including damage to DTEK facilities in the Odesa region, a probable strike on the Trypilska TPP in the Kyiv region, and the disconnection of tens of thousands of customers.
  • There is not a single high–voltage substation in Ukraine that Russia has not attacked at least once since the start of the full–scale invasion, and Naftogaz Group’s infrastructure has suffered a total of 401 attacks (229 of them in 2025 alone).
  • On February 16, the Cabinet of Ministers expanded energy support programs for condominiums, housing cooperatives, and private households, introducing new preferential loans for generators, solar power plants, and heat pumps with interest rates ranging from 0% in the first year to 7% in the third year and terms of up to three years. For сondominiums and housing cooperatives, the maximum loan amount is UAH 3 million with compensation of up to 70% of the cost of equipment, and for private homes, up to UAH 480,000 with state compensation of 20–30% of the loan amount, depending on the selected equipment package.
  • There was no commercial export of electricity from Ukraine. Imports increased by 0.9% to 313.5 GWh.
  • In 2026, it is planned to commission up to 500–600 MW of new wind power capacity, which exceeds the 2025 figure (324 MW) and is several times more than the 20 MW launched in 2024, according to Andrii Konechenkov, chairman of the board of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA).
  • Naftogaz signed another grant agreement with the EBRD for EUR 85 million to purchase imported gas, according to CEO Serhii Koretsky.
  • During a ministerial meeting of the International Energy Agency, the Ukrainian delegation reached agreements on attracting more than EUR 600 million in financial assistance (contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, US funds through the SPARK project, and a grant from France), signed memoranda of cooperation in the energy sector with France and Canada, and launched the Regional Energy Sustainability Coordination Platform together with its partners. In addition, negotiations were held with Poland, Germany, Finland, and Norway on the transfer of used power plant equipment, the development of gas and oil transportation infrastructure, the protection of energy facilities, and further financial support for the purchase of imported gas.
