Now the situation is more complicated than in the past, because a lot of hydropower generation has disappeared, noted German Galushchenko.
Ukrainian authorities are considering the possibility of increasing electricity tariffs in connection with Russia’s new attacks on the energy sector. The Minister of Energy German Galushchenko said this in an interview with Bloomberg, published on Saturday, April 6.

“Depending on the situation in July and August, we will ask people to save as much as possible. baseload generation will cover 30% to 50% of our needs.” , he said.
At the same time, Galushchenko did not exclude the increase of electricity tariffs for the population. The government is exploring different ways to finance the repair of its energy assets, he said.
“Today the situation is more difficult than in the past, because we have lost a lot of hydropower generation and are forced to carry out scheduled repairs of nuclear power units,” he said.
Galushchenko believes that the Russian strikes that have already taken place will make it more difficult to exceed this summer’s consumption peaks.
“We will certainly talk to the people. Everyone wants to live comfortably, but we must take into account the fact that there are current restrictions,” the minister concluded.
We remind you that since March 22, the Russians have carried out several powerful waves of missile and drone attacks. The enemy destroyed a large number of power units of thermal power plants and also disabled the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station.
The most difficult situation was in Kharkov, where all the generating capacities were destroyed. Energy workers are trying to provide a city with millions with the help of backup schemes.
