Ukrenergo continues to develop distributed generation to avoid blackouts caused by russian attacks

Winter preparedness involves several tasks, such as completing scheduled maintenance and accumulating fuel reserves. However, the war has introduced new challenges, such as protecting critical infrastructure facilities and increasing the flexibility of the energy system.

Yurii Boiko, member of the NPC Ukrenergo Supervisory Board, stated this during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine.

“In addition to prioritizing the protection of infrastructure facilities, active efforts have been made over the past two years to develop distributed generation. This will increase the flexibility of the energy system and significantly enhance supply reliability during critical situations. Under normal conditions, key generation facilities will ensure an electricity supply. However, in the event of critical outages due to attacks, it is precisely distributed generation that will help resolve local issues,” he noted.

Boiko also emphasized that equipping infrastructure with alternative power sources is another crucial aspect of energy stability.
