Australia contributes to Ukraine Energy Support Fund, co-managed by EU
The Australian government has contributed an additional €6.7 million (AUD$10 million) to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund (UESF), reinforcing its ongoing efforts to sustain Ukraine’s energy system during intensifying Russian attacks.
This contribution follows a previous Australian contribution of €11.97million (AUD$20 million).
The funds are provided without earmarking. The flexible nature of the Australian contribution allows the UESF, in cooperation with the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, to respond dynamically to the most urgent needs.
With this contribution, UESF continues to help Ukraine sustain its energy infrastructure, providing heat and electricity for millions of Ukrainians.
The UESF, coordinated by the EU co-chaired Energy Community Secretariat, has become one of the most efficient mechanisms for rapid response. To date, the Fund has mobilised over €1 billion from more than 30 donors to repair Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
