[[[At Ukraine’s reconstruction conference in Berlin in mid-June, President Volodymyr Zelensky laid out the scale of the destruction from the first six attacks. “Russian missile and drone strikes have already destroyed 9 GW of capacity, while the peak energy consumption in Ukraine last winter was 18 GW. So, half of it does not exist anymore,” he said.
Officials and energy executives are now acknowledging there is no way to avoid blackouts this winter. The mission now is simply to minimize them.
“If we don’t restore the existing the damaged plants, if we don’t improve the interconnector capacity for input, if we don’t build these distributed generators, at least in some places… then people will have power for less than four hours per day,” says Dmytro Sakharuk, executive director of DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company.
“We have 120 days left before the start of the heating season,” he warns. “It cannot be business as usual.”]]]

[[[Ukraine is trying to tackle the problem in a variety of ways. As well as rebuilding what they can, in some cases using parts from decommissioned power plants in Europe, officials and energy companies are trying to secure as many generators and gas turbines as possible to support critical infrastructure through the winter, and are working with European partners to increase imports of electricity.
Before Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Ukraine was a net exporter of electricity, and had even been able to resume some exports during wartime. That stopped in March.
“We are doing our best,” Deputy Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk told CNN. “We understand that without energy it will be very difficult to survive.”
When supply-side efforts fall short, all that’s left is to reduce demand. And that means asking for even more sacrifice from the already blackout-weary Ukrainian people. “We asked our people… to be ready to understand the situation, to support Ukraine, to support our energy workers,” says Grynchuk. “We call it the second front line, energy.”
At the end of April, a few weeks after a Russian attack destroyed the Kyiv region’s biggest power plant, Andrii Buzovskyi, a 52-year-old Kyiv police officer, spent about $1,400 on two solar panels for his balcony.
“I installed them so that my family would not feel uncomfortable when there is no electricity,” he told CNN. “What will happen next is unknown.”]]]

[[[The government would like to see more of this. Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denis Shmyhal just announced new grants to help housing cooperatives invest in solar panels and heat pumps. Ukraine’s central bank is also working to make loans for households and businesses to buy energy-related equipment more affordable.
In her Kyiv high-rise, Serzhan is pursuing a different kind of energy independence. She is so worried about braving freezing temperatures in her apartment this winter, she’s looking to rent a small house outside Kyiv with a wood-burning stove.
“It’s like the 19th century,” she admits.
Companies are doing their part. Ukrainian Railways has revised the schedule for 74 suburban trains (about 7% of the total), temporarily suspending some services. The company told CNN it’s also halted the use of air conditioning in administrative buildings, and turned off outdoor lighting.]]]

Moscow summoned the U.S. ambassador to issue a formal warning, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a biting public comment blaming the U.S., calling the strike 'barbaric.'
