Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s national energy company, is starting construction of three main power transmission lines this year and is interested in purchasing products from domestic manufacturers for this purpose.

“This year, we are starting to build three strategic power transmission lines, the main ones. And for this, for example, we need 100,000 high-voltage insulators. There is a company that can produce them in the west of Ukraine, although it doesn’t yet. The state is temporarily managing it, but now it’s a simple matter of launching this production so that we can buy insulators from our manufacturer and not from China,” Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said.

Kudrytskyi added that currently, Ukrenergo has 85% of its products in its procurement balance.

“We could have 95-97% if Ukrainian factories could produce as much as we need,” Kudrytskyi said.
