Our renewed commitment
During the winter of 2022-2023, Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure intensified, causing widespread destruction and leaving nearly 12 million Ukrainians without access to electricity and heating.
Since November 2023, Russia has stepped up its bombing campaigns aimed at saturating Ukrainian air defenses and targeting energy facilities once again. According to a report by the International Energy Agency dated January 2024, more than 50% of the electrical infrastructure has been damaged since the start of the war. Despite major efforts by the Ukrainian government to strengthen energy security before the winter, full restoration of all facilities proved impossible due to new attacks that caused further damage. This situation is compromising the country’s security of supply and testing the resilience of the Ukrainian power system. Businesses and households are therefore forced to turn to generators.
