There&#8217;s just not enough time to implement all the technological changes there. That&#8217;s why next winter will actually be difficult,&#8221; the studio guest noted.<\/p>\n<p> Fursa said that funding could come from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the World Bank, and through direct assistance from individual states. However, the key obstacle is not only finding capital, but also the limited time for technical modernization of facilities before the onset of cold weather.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j-AYy11MDns<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/custom-deafness-why-ukraine-doesnt-buy-shields-for-the-energy-sector\/\">Turning a Deaf Ear: Why Ukraine Isn\u2019t Protecting Its Energy Grid<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> In addition, according to the investment banker, the situation is complicated by uncertainty about future temperature indicators. Although there are hopes for the absence of extreme frosts, there are currently no guarantees of a stable winter, which forces us to look for additional resources in the budget, &#8211; emphasized Serhiy Fursa.<\/p>\n<p> On the eve of the meeting, Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal said that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/skilky-potribno-hroshey-dlia-pidhotovky-enerhosystemy-ukrainy-do-zymy-shmyhal-nazvav-sumu\/\">Ukraine needs at least 5.4 billion euros<\/a> to prepare the power system for winter. At the same time, the system needs an additional 6.5 gigawatts of capacity for stable operation.<\/p>\n<p> We will remind you that during the meeting of the &#8220;Energy Ramstein&#8221;, Ukraine&#8217;s partners announced the allocation of <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/partnery-vydilyly-ukraini-100-mln-ievro-na-pidhotovku-do-zymy-cherez-enerhetychnyy-ramshtayn\/\">100 million euros for winter preparations<\/a> . The funds will be channeled through the Energy Support Fund.<\/p>\n<p> Later, Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal announced the <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/pidhotovka-do-zymy-ukraina-vzhe-vidnovyla-1-hvt-enerhetyky\/\">restoration of 1 GW of energy capacity<\/a> in preparation for the next heating season. According to him, the government has set a strategic goal of restoring 6 GW of capacity by the beginning of the autumn-winter period. Of these, 3.8 GW is for thermal power plants.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine needs to raise almost 5.54 billion euros to prepare for next winter, which is currently the subject of complex negotiations with international financial institutions.
