December 2025 was a moment for the Ukrainian energy sector to sum up the interim results of an extremely difficult year. The industry entered winter with tangible risks to the system balance. The combination of tariff decisions, market activity and investments in generation formed a complex, but already more manageable picture on the eve of 2026.
January 2026 revealed the high vulnerability of Ukraine’s power system due to massive attacks and extreme weather conditions, which caused an emergency regime, emergency outages and local shortages (up to ~500 MW in Kyiv, ~30% nationwide during critical hours). Accelerating the development of cogeneration, distributed generation and coordinating policies and financing is key to increasing resilience in the short and medium term.
Everything big starts with smaller but strategically important steps. When we talk about national energy security, its real foundation is the stability of each individual community. Without local, modern infrastructure solutions on the ground, the security of the entire country remains impossible. That is why the “UKRTEPLO” group of companies is moving from strategies to real actions at facilities.
