The Cabinet of Ministers has simplified the import of power equipment, including generators and transformers, to Ukraine, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.
“We are preparing for winter at all levels. Today we will approve a resolution that simplifies the import of power equipment, in particular generators and transformers, to Ukraine,” Shmyhal said at a government meeting on Friday.
According to him, to do this, the government will actually suspend six technical regulations that were applied to the import and sale of energy equipment.
“Now, a number of these goods will not require a declaration of conformity and marking with a conformity mark,” he concluded.
As part of the restoration of power grids in the territories de-occupied in 2022, PJSC Mykolaivoblenergo installed a new power transformer in one of the region’s communities, which will provide reliable power supply for more than 40 thousand residents.
“The restoration of the power grids almost destroyed by the enemy in the territories of Mykolaiv region that were de-occupied last fall continues. Recently, Mykolayivoblenergo installed a 25 MVA power transformer in one of the region’s communities,” the company said in a press release on Thursday.
According to the company’s acting CEO Vadym Danylkiv, the previous transformer was damaged by massive shelling in the first days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
According to him, the restoration of the region’s power grids is ongoing, with another power transformer expected to be delivered from a Western partner country in the near future.
The equipment, weighing 76 tons, was provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Energy Security Project (ESP).
