He said that hundreds of unmanned aircraft and more than 30 rockets targeted the country's power systems, characterizing such attacks as "cynical and calculated" and against "essential services" as temperatures become colder.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to repair systems.
A series of attacks damaged electrical systems and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Five out of the nine people hurt in the assaults on the city have been transported for medical care, according to city authorities.
Area administrators said the city came under intense attacks overnight. A seven-year-old child was killed and several individuals were hurt.
The attacks follow evenings of bombing campaigns in the area, sections of which are currently controlled by Moscow's military.
The whole nation is on alert for advanced weapon attacks, which are more difficult to detect.
Authorities told journalists that Russia was purposely seeking to destroy the national power system, with strikes already affecting fuel infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed energy workers and authorities were bracing for more assaults.
