Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko announced that the G7+ group of partners has pledged significant new support for Ukraine’s energy sector, including thousands of generators and millions in funding, following an urgent coordination meeting on 23 January, APA reports, citing EUROMAIDAN.
Ukraine’s energy system is facing an acute crisis after months of Russian strikes, as the country goes through the harshest winter of the full-scale invasion. The damage has cut generation capacity, strained transmission networks, and forced emergency repairs and rolling outages across multiple regions as authorities try to maintain electricity and heating supplies.
Svyrydenko said the meeting updated partners on the current situation in Ukraine’s energy system and its urgent infrastructure needs. She confirmed new packages that include over 6,000 pieces of large-scale energy equipment and contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund.
Key commitments include 447 generators from the European Union, 90 from Lithuania, over 100 generators totaling 13 MW from France, and 140 small and medium generators plus transformers from Japan.
Italy pledged €10 million to the fund and an additional €50 million in its 2026 budget, while the Netherlands will provide €23 million for gas, power plant repairs, and energy equipment.
Germany pledged €60 million along with 33 cogeneration units, 15 mobile hybrid generators, 300 solar installations, 375 batteries, 31 boiler units, 45 construction machines, and 10 water heaters.
The United Kingdom committed nearly €23 million, and the United States announced over $400 million for humanitarian support.
Svyrydenko emphasized that the support will help maintain electricity, heat, and essential services across the country during ongoing attacks and harsh winter conditions.
