Document

Order dated August 12, 2025 No. 2175-r

Over 1.5 billion rubles will be allocated from the Government's reserve fund to reimburse the costs of supplying electricity to citizens and businesses in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. An order to this effect has been signed.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, August 18, 2025

“We expect that thanks to this measure, industrial and service enterprises will have more working capital at their disposal while maintaining the required level of reliability of the electric power complex,” Mikhail Mishustin noted at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on August 18.

In 2023, the Government identified a single electricity supplier for consumers in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. This company purchases electricity on the wholesale electricity and capacity market and then supplies it to new regions.
