Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this at a briefing following his working visit to Ternopil region, where he checked the reconstruction of a modernized boiler house at Ternopil’s municipal district heating utility company, Ukrinform reports, referring to the Government portal.

“The Prime Minister added that at the initiative of President Volodymyr Zelensky, a large-scale energy modernization program would be launched in Ukraine next year. According to the Head of Government, a set of energy efficient measures will help reduce the sums in utility bills for people,” the report says.
