July 10 – World Energy Independence Day!

This day serves as an annual reminder of the importance of every country’s — and every person’s — ability to provide themselves with energy without external pressure, dependence on fossil fuels, or harm to the environment.

Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has shown just how critically important energy security is. The enemy deliberately targets our energy system, leaving millions without electricity and heat. In these conditions, energy independence is not just a strategic goal — it is a matter of survival.

But with great challenges come new opportunities. We are rethinking how we consume energy, recognizing the value of renewable sources, and implementing energy-efficient solutions — in our homes, communities, and across the country.

The “Keep This Money for Yourself” platform was created to support this transformation — helping Ukrainians discover simple, affordable, and effective ways to save energy and reduce utility costs even in difficult wartime conditions.

The platform offers:

Practical energy-saving tips that work even during power outages and emergencies;

Tools to reduce your own energy consumption — from daily habits to impactful solutions;

Real-life examples of energy efficiency that Ukrainian families can apply in both urban and rural areas.
