80% of Ukrainian enterprises have secured their own electricity supply: details from the NBU.

According to inkorr.com: Ukrainian businesses are demonstrating their ability to adapt under constant attacks on the energy infrastructure: eight out of ten enterprises have secured autonomous sources of electricity supply. This was stated by the head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Andriy Pyshnyy, during an extraordinary session of the Kyiv Security Forum.

According to information from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 80% of enterprises have prepared for power outages thanks to generators and alternative energy sources. This has significantly changed the situation compared to 2022.

'We, as a nation, have learned to live in a state of constant risk and not lose efficiency,' emphasized Pyshnyy.

National Bank Forecasts

The National Bank has revised its forecasts regarding electricity supply losses due to Russian shelling. In the fourth quarter of this year, a deficit of electricity is expected to reach up to 4%, while the average annual figures will be approximately 1.3%. In 2026, a deficit of 3% is anticipated.

'Despite energy challenges, inflation remains under control,' noted the NBU head.

The financial system actively supports the energy sector by financing various projects for the development of generation capacities and energy storage. Lending in the economy has also increased, indicating positive business development in Ukraine.

Thus, the country's enterprises are preparing for the challenges of energy security. Thanks to autonomous sources of electricity supply, businesses remain resilient in situations of constant risk. Although the National Bank predicts a deficit of electricity in the country, it emphasizes controlled inflation and positive trends in the economy.
