The Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers has simplified procedures for restoring elements of the gas transportation system and power lines, the Ministry of Energy announced on Monday.
“This will enable companies to implement projects for the construction and reconstruction of gas transportation system components, in particular special bridges for reverse gas supplies, more quickly,” the ministry explained.
In addition, conditions for the construction of new power lines will be simplified, especially in frontline regions, to ensure rapid restoration and reliable electricity supply to consumers.
“The government has adopted a strategic decision aimed at strengthening the sustainability of Ukraine’s energy system in preparation for the autumn-winter period. This step will allow for the rapid restoration of power lines damaged by the war and the construction of new ones, especially in frontline areas,” said Energy Minister Svetlana Grinchuk.
According to her, this decision will also significantly reduce the time needed to prepare and implement technical solutions aimed at strengthening the reliability and flexibility of the natural gas transportation system.
