"Today, Ukraine is undergoing the largest-ever repair campaign at energy facilities. We are preparing for the heating season, which may be no less difficult than the previous one. And the help of our international partners in this preparation is very valuable, in particular for the sector of renewable sources ", said Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko.
It is noted that the main goal of renewed bilateral cooperation within the framework of the Energy Partnership is to provide support in the restoration of the energy infrastructure on the principles of sustainability and to accelerate the green transformation of the energy sector.
