Since mid-May, Ukraine has returned to blackout schedules for both domestic consumers and businesses. Russia resumed large-scale shelling of the energy industry, destroying 9 GW of Ukrainian generation over the past three months. In the winter of 2022-2023, Russian attacks were mostly aimed at damaging the transportation infrastructure, specifically the main high-voltage networks. A characteristic feature of this year’s spring destruction of the Ukrainian energy industry was the targeted attacks on generating facilities, mostly thermal and hydroelectric power stations. Watch Ukraine in Flames #641 to find out about ensuring Ukraine’s energy security during wartime, as well as the plans and priorities for restoring and developing generating capacities.
