EUR 8.8 million worth of equipment procured in April and May 2025 through the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, strengthening energy resilience of Ukraine  

In April and May 2025, the Ukraine Energy Support Fund (Fund) continued its effective operation, towards the resilience and modernisation of Ukraine's energy system. 

The total value of procured equipment and materials, including for critical energy infrastructure, during this two-month period amounted to EUR 8,752,667.  

In April 2025, goods procured consisted in equipment and machines, while in May 2025, the following specific items were procured: transformers (51%); equipment / machines (45%); switchgear (4%).  

Notably, most of contracted items in April 2025 were allocated to benefit the healthcare facilities under the unprecedented “Ray of Hope” initiative, which aims to implement solar energy projects for hospitals across the country. This initiative represents a unique sustainable and innovative approach to provide delivery of uninterrupted critical services, including life-saving operations, even during power outages and ongoing Russian attacks. The “Ray of Hope” initiative is implemented under the Fund, in collaboration with Urban Technology Alliance LP, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.  

In May 2025, procured items were distributed to support key sectors of Ukraine's energy system, evidencing the broad scope of the Fund’s impact, namely:  

• Electricity distribution – 57%;  

• Electricity generation – 19%;   

• Combined heating and power – 17%;   

• Healthcare – 7%.  

These tangible results are the outcome of joint efforts made possible thanks to the Fund's donors and its efficient cooperation with stakeholders in Ukraine and partners worldwide.  In April 2025, thanks to international solidarity and support, the Fund received EUR 2,954,948.9 million in contributions, evidencing continued international
solidarity.

The Energy Community Secretariat continues to ensure efficient and transparent administration of the Fund, focusing on constant improvement of its operation, not just in providing rapid response to emergency situations, but also in modernising the energy system of Ukraine. To date, the Fund has mobilised more than EUR 1,16 billion in pledges from 33 donors, contributing to resilience, green future and accelerated integration of Ukraine to the EU energy market.  

As recovery needs remain urgent and Russian attacks are ongoing, the gap between mobilised funds and identified support remains significant, and is currently estimated at approximately EUR 600 million. The Energy Community Secretariat calls on all current and potential donors to increase their contributions and join this collective effort to safeguard the region's energy security and ensure Ukraine's sustainable future of Ukraine.
