The head of the government explained that for the allocated 7 billion 168 million hryvnias, equipment will be purchased for the restoration of the high-voltage network, as well as for better synchronisation of the energy system of Ukraine and the EU.
He thanked the World Bank group, which provided grants for the implementation of this project.
Shmyhal said that now the Headquarters is working on a permanent basis to prepare for the next heating season. According to him, a big bet is placed on the decentralisation of the energy system.
The Energy Efficiency Fund launched the "GreenDIM" program. Condominiums can receive compensation of up to 1 million hryvnias for the installation of solar power plants and up to 2 million hryvnias for the installation of heat pumps for heating.

The government expects to be able to significantly decentralise the Ukrainian energy system within the next six months.
