Ukraine Energy Minister Shmyhal told parliament on the 21st that winter energy stockpiles are near or above planned levels. Underground gas storage holds 14.3 bcm, close to the 14.6 bcm winter target; coal reserves have exceeded targets.

Shmyhal expects national installed generation capacity to reach 19.6 GW by year-end, above the minimum winter requirement.
