To the staff
of the energy sector of Ukraine
I sincerely greet the staff of the energy sector on the occasion of the half century jubilee of the Ministry of Energy and Coal Industry of Ukraine, the main body in the system of central bodies of executive power in forming and implementing state policy in energy, nuclear, coal, peat, oil and gas complexes.
Successful functioning and development of national economy is intimately connected with reliable and effective operation of its major sphere – energetics. Production potential of the country, energy security of the state, the level of its social and economic development is predetermined by the situation in this strategic sector.
Powerful modern energy system of Ukraine was established due to conscientious and selfless work multiplied by high professionalism and responsibility. During difficult and crisis period the employees of the sector proved their ability to resolve most difficult tasks, particularly supplying energy to industrial and residential consumers, as well as guarantying dynamic development of the sector under extreme conditions.
Today, power engineers of Ukraine work upon modernization and augmentation of basic facilities of the industry, using unified and consistent approach. Joint efforts with the deputy’s corpus promote further refinement of the existing legislative basis, bringing it in line with international standards and demands. This guarantees its innovational development and energy security of the state.
On this day, I wish you peace, welfare, and new labour achievements for the good of our people and in the name of Ukraine.
