Quote: “This year, the Ministry of Energy and other responsible agencies have been assigned the task of bringing nearly 900 MW of distributed generation facilities into operation.”
Details: Shmyhal noted that 233 generating units with an installed capacity of over 830 MW were connected to the grid in 2024. These predominantly include gas-based generation, such as gas turbines, gas piston engines, and cogeneration systems.
In addition, repairs and reconstruction are ongoing. In total, about 4 GW of thermal and hydropower capacity was restored in 2024. The restoration of about 3 GW more is planned for 2025.
Background:
- By the end of 2024, Ukraine was expected to receive equipment sufficient for 1 GW of distributed generation, though it may not be possible to activate it all immediately.
- Only about 60 MW out of the 1 GW of generation announced by Zelenskyy for 2024 has been built in Ukraine, says the former CEO of Ukrenergo.
- In early September 2024, Herman Halushchenko, Minister of Energy of Ukraine, said that Ukraine installed hundreds of MW of capacity out of the 1 GW of generation announced by Zelenskyy for 2024.
- As of the end of 2024, Ukraine had 967 MW of distributed gas generation connected to the grid: 835 MW of generation is already in operation.
