The United Kingdom is contributing an additional EUR 48.7 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, raising its total contribution to EUR 150.6 million.

The grant funds from this tranche will enable a range of measures to strengthen Ukraine's energy resilience, including the repair of critical energy networks, protection of key energy assets, and support for renewable and decentralized energy solutions.

"The support of our partners is particularly significant as we approach the new heating season. As part of our winter preparations, we are conducting scheduled repairs at energy facilities, installing additional generating capacities, preparing electricity transmission and heating systems for peak loads, and building reserves of backup equipment. We thank the United Kingdom for its latest contribution to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, which will allow us to implement these tasks and strengthen the country's energy security overall," emphasized Ukraine's Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk.

"I am fully aware that the UK's support is steadfast and stronger than ever because we understand the long-term threat to security and stability that russian aggression poses not only to Ukraine but to the whole of Europe and to all of us here in the United Kingdom," said UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper during her recent visit to Kyiv.

"We warmly welcome the UK's new contribution as vital support for Ukraine's resilience and a powerful message of commitment, highlighting the UK's priority in strengthening energy security. It enhances the Fund's role and expands its capacity to ensure rapid response alongside comprehensive modernization of Ukraine's energy system. We are proud to stand together with Ukraine and the United Kingdom," stressed Artur Lorkowski, Director of the Energy Community Secretariat.

Since its launch in April 2022, the Ukraine Energy Support Fund has mobilized over EUR 1.25 billion from more than 33 donors. Contracts have been concluded with 60 energy companies across 21 regions of Ukraine.

The Energy Community Secretariat, which coordinates the Fund's operations, urges donors to follow the UK's example and increase their contributions, as the current funding gap between available resources and priority needs exceeds EUR 600 million.
