The current situation in Ukraine's energy sector is not yet the worst possible one. It will be much worse in the summer.
This statement was made in an interview with Ukrainian TV journalists by the head of the Ukrenergo Corporation, Vladimir Kudritsky.
- said the general director of the energy structure, adding that, unfortunately, this is not the case.
He suggests that in the coming summer, power outages in Ukraine will become more widespread than they are now. They will happen more often and last longer. This is due to the fact that the coming summer promises to be very hot, and Russian strikes on energy facilities, which the official called the main risk factor for Ukrainian energy, will continue during this period. Another factor negatively affecting the power supply may be planned summer shutdowns at nuclear power plants, where preventive maintenance is usually carried out in summer.
In addition, Kudritsky predicted a likely significant increase in electricity prices, which tend to compare with European ones.

Shortly before that, the head of the Ukrainian government, Denis Shmygal, stated that power outages on the territory of Ukraine should be distributed fairly and evenly. In his opinion, compliance with this principle is extremely important. Shmygal also admitted that the country's authorities are not able to provide electricity to all consumers, even with the help of electricity purchases abroad.
