August 10 – 16

  • Since the beginning of 2026, Russia carried out 293 attacks on Naftogaz Group facilities, 13 of which occurred during the reporting week.
  • As of August 1, Ukraine prepared 58% of residential buildings, about 63% of social sector facilities, and over 60% of boiler rooms for the 2026–27 heating season, while simultaneously building up reserves to respond to potential attacks on critical infrastructure.
  • A bill has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada proposing to extend the National Program for the Decommissioning of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant until 2036, providing for the final shutdown and decommissioning of three power units, the management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste, as well as the remediation of the consequences of the Russian strike on the New Safe Confinement. The total funding requirement for the Program through 2036 is estimated at UAH 50.8 billion, of which UAH 45.6 billion is expected to be financed from the state budget, and UAH 5.24 billion through international technical assistance.
  • “Energoatom” is set to appoint a new chairman and a renewed board of directors no later than October 2026; the competition for the position of company head is scheduled to conclude in September.
  • In July, the Ukraine Energy Support Fund received EUR 180 million in grant contributions from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, and also signed contracts for the supply of critical energy equipment worth EUR 78.4 million. In addition, Ukrainian energy companies received equipment under previously signed contracts facilitated by the Fund, totaling EUR 29.4 million.
  • The Ministry of Finance is preparing a legislative framework to allow mobile petroleum stations to operate in communities where stationary stations have been destroyed or cannot operate safely due to the threat of Russian attacks.
  • The National Energy and Utilities Regulatory Commission (NEURC) changed the rules for paying for electricity generated by residential solar power plants: the feed-in tariff will apply only to electricity generated during specific time intervals—from 4:00 to 23:00 in April–October and from 6:00 to 21:00 in November–March. Electricity supplied outside these intervals or in excess of the facility’s contracted capacity at a given hour will be paid for at the hourly DAM price, but not higher than the price at which electricity is supplied to the consumer.
  • The NEURC introduced a mechanism for flexible grid connection, which allows for the use of available non-guaranteed grid capacity reserves without waiting for full grid reinforcement, but with the possibility of limiting electricity generation or consumption in the event of grid overload.
