  "account": "The Energy Ministry is currently overseeing over 20 digitalization projects within the energy sector, according to Deputy Energy Minister Denys Shuhaliy. These initiatives are in various stages, from design to nearing completion, he stated during a presentation at the Code of Economy conference in Kyiv. The primary objective of these projects is to integrate data from energy facilities into shared systems, enabling real-time monitoring and rapid decision-making, Shuhaliy explained.\n\nThis digital transformation is crucial, particularly with the construction of numerous energy facilities of diverse capacities, as managing and overseeing them poses challenges for the power system, he added. Digital projects in energy are categorized into two main areas: development projects aimed at enhancing the sector and measures for restoration and protection of energy resources. While digital technology cannot restore damaged power plants or grids, it can significantly improve safety by identifying and facilitating quicker repairs, Shuhaliy emphasized.\n\nCurrently, the Digital Transformation Office is evaluating several analytical models to assess potential attacks on energy systems and their consequences. The goal is to achieve a more equitable distribution of resources, he noted. When questioned about the aftermath of Russian strikes on data centers, Shuhaliy revealed that a multi-layered protection system is employed, incorporating backup measures and stress tests. Five years ago, cyberattacks on IT systems were deemed the primary threat; however, recent events have highlighted the criticality of safeguarding data centers from physical destruction, Shuhaliy concluded.",
