The Ministry of Energy is responsible for energy in Ukraine.
The government ministry was originally formed in the 1970s as the Ministry of Energy and Electrification.
State Special Enterprise Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was created on July 11, 2001 on base of the former Energoatom's company of the same name. The company was basically recommissioned under a special jurisdiction for the further decommissioning of its nuclear power station. On July 15, 2005 the enterprise was transferred from under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Fuel and Energy to the Ministry of Emergencies.[3]
The ministry also absorbed a separate Ministry of Coal Mining which existed since 1954 until 1999 and was revived in 2005-2010.
The Ministry was (as it turned out) temporally merged the ministry with the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources by Honcharuk Government (on 29 August 2019).[4] But the succeeding Shmyhal Government re-created the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources (on 27 May 2020).[5]
