"The key tasks are to increase generation capacity as quickly as possible before winter and replace damaged autotransformers to ensure the stability of electricity transmission. The fastest way to increase generation is to install gas turbine and gas piston units. It is also important to provide high-capacity mobile generator sets," Halushchenko said.

The Ministry of Energy reported that following the meeting, it was agreed to supply more than 100 large generators with a total capacity of more than 130 MW to Ukraine.

It is also noted that in February 2024, JICA and the Government of Ukraine signed an agreement to provide grant assistance in the amount of up to 15.8 million Japanese yen for the Emergency Recovery Program (Phase 3). The grant assistance agreements for the first and second phases of this program were signed in the spring of 2023 (22.44 million yen and 53.072 million yen, respectively).

"For the needs of our energy sector, Japan has already transferred autotransformers, gas turbines, protective structures, generators, large transformer substations and power equipment for the restoration of destroyed power facilities, automotive equipment, cables, welding machines, batteries, transformers of various types, poles, and complete transformer substations. In addition, Japan has provided equipment to eliminate the consequences of the flood caused by the explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam," the ministry added.
