Ukrainian Government Announces Over 630 Million Hryvnias Investment in Zaporizhzhia Energy Infrastructure
As part of strategic measures to ensure national energy security, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has made an important decision to allocate significant financial resources to the Zaporizhzhia region.
Under the initiative, more than 630 million hryvnias will be allocated from the state budget’s reserve fund for the construction of modern protective structures at key substations of the energy company ‘Zaporizhziaoblenergo’.
This move aims to enhance the safety and stability of the regional energy system, which remains under constant threat from missile and artillery attacks by the enemy.
Prime Minister Julia Sviridenko emphasized that such investments are critically important for safeguarding infrastructure because their protection directly affects the continuous supply of electricity and heat to frontline towns, especially during winter.
She assured that the government is actively working to minimize the effects of aggression and ensure comfort and safety for citizens despite the challenging conditions.
Ivan Fedorov, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, reaffirmed the importance of this decision for the region and highlighted that it marks a significant step toward strengthening the area’s energy independence.
It is also known that the majority of shares—over 60%—of PJSC ‘Zaporizhzhiaoblenergo’ are owned by the state, while the remaining shares are distributed among private companies such as Lex Perfecta Limited, Bikontia Enterprises Limited, and Kerelio Commercial Limited, laying a foundation for the sector’s stable development and modernization.
