Ukraine Energy Support Fund: 18 gas-piston power stations delivered to Ukrainian Railways
The Ukraine Energy Support Fund delivered 18 gas-piston power stations to JSC ‘Ukrainian Railways’, the Energy Community Secretariat announced on 22 July.
The procurement and delivery of these units, with a total value of €21.6 million, were made possible thanks to a contribution from the United Kingdom to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, and were administrated by the Energy Community Secretariat, co-chaired by the European Commission.
Gas-piston power stations offer a practical, flexible and efficient solution to address the challenges posed by ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. These units will provide JSC ‘Ukrainian Railways’ with 41.4 MW of flexible generation capacity, significantly strengthening the resilience and reliability of energy supply for the stable operation of critical infrastructure.
The Energy Community Secretariat and the Fund’s donors stay firmly in their solidarity with Ukraine. The key results under the Fund achieved since 2022 are as follows:
- more than 790 supply contracts financed;
- €669 million contracted;
- a total of 58 Ukrainian energy companies have signed contracts for supply of energy equipment, services, and passive protection measures, while support requests have been approved for 71 energy companies overall;
- projects implemented across 21 regions of Ukraine.
As the winter season approaches, and the current gap between received support requests and available funding is calculated at over €550 million, the Energy Community Secretariat urges all donors to increase their contributions to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund in supporting winterisation efforts, implemented in close cooperation with the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and Ukrainian energy companies.
