During the government meeting it was decided to allocate UAH 2.5 billion to restore the energy system in Kharkiv region

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal announced this.

"These will be funds for the restoration of the energy system of the region, the city, for the installation of cogeneration plants, block-modular boiler houses and gas generators", Shmygal wrote.

He added that the government at the central level continues active measures to decentralize the energy system. According to him, this plan is based on two principles: the first is the availability of energy equipment for people, condominiums, communities and businesses, and the second is the simplification of connection and operation of this energy equipment.

The media, citing a statement by DTEK, reported that if russia continues its attacks on the Ukrainian energy system, Ukrainians may be left without light and heat supply for up to 20 hours a day.
