EU and Denmark helped restore Ukrainian wind power plant
The Ukraine Energy Support Fund announced on 29 September that one of the most modern wind power plants in Ukraine, damaged by Russia’s attacks, recently received three new wind turbine blades. The energy equipment was procured, delivered and installed under the Fund for a total value of €3.23 million.
The procurement and delivery of these wind turbine blades were possible thanks to support from the European Union and Denmark to the Fund, administered by the Energy Community Secretariat and co-chaired by the European Commission.
“When we rebuild Ukraine’s wind turbines, we do more than restore power to the Ukrainian people and industry,” says Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard.
“We support the fight for freedom and secure a stronger and more sustainable Ukraine and Europe in the future.”
Jocelin Cornet, Head of Section for Reconstruction, Energy, Infrastructure and Environment at the EU Delegation to Ukraine, said: “With the installation of new blades, this wind farm can again supply clean electricity to the grid, supporting households, hospitals, schools, and businesses.”
The Secretariat and the Fund’s donors remain firmly engaged in the recovery efforts for Ukraine, delivering a rapid response to Russia’s devastating attacks on energy infrastructure and modernisation under the Fund. The joint key results achieved since 2022 include more than 800 supply contracts financed and €682 million contracted. A total of 59 Ukrainian energy companies have signed contracts for the supply of energy equipment, services, and passive protection measures, while support requests have been approved for 72 energy companies overall.
As the 2025/2026 winter season approaches, and with the current gap between received support requests and available funding calculated at over €500 million, the Secretariat urges all partners to join the Fund and all donors to increase their contributions to ensure proper winterisation efforts.
