Ukrainians have the right to basic comfort in their homes.

A family of four consumes about 13 m³ of gas every month. This is hot water, heating, cooking.
These are basic things that everyone needs.

Smart Energy can provide gas to up to 1.2 million families — 100 million m³ by the end of the year. But for this, only one thing is needed — to allow the public London company Enwell Energy to produce gas.

We are not asking to lift sanctions — only to make adjustments to paragraphs 73-78 of Appendix 1 to the NSDC Decision of 08.10.2024. This will allow the activities of Enwell Energy gas-producing enterprises to be unblocked and used for the benefit of Ukraine, while leaving the full scope of sanctions on the ultimate beneficial owners.

On this occasion Enwell Energy, a public British company, turned to the Security Service of Ukraine, because this body is the initiator of the decisions that resulted in the suspension of Ukrainian gas production.

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025

As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH). This reduction occurred, among other reasons, due to increased government pressure and the blocking of gas production assets of the publicly listed British company Enwell Energy.
