According to him, thanks to international partners' assistance, Ukraine already has gas-fired combustion plants that provide distributed electricity generation and support Ukraine's energy system.

According to the President's Office, the Minister informed the participants of the meeting about the priority needs for restoration, repair and launch of generation at the facilities affected by Russian missile strikes, implementation of distributed generation projects, and provision of backup power sources for critical infrastructure.

In turn, Vasyl Shkurakov, acting Minister for Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine, outlined the needs of our country's regions and certain cities for block-modular and modular boiler plants. With the help of partners, a significant number of these requests are already being met, particularly in Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region.
