EU and Denmark helped restore Ukrainian wind power plant: new blades for wind turbines

The Ukraine Energy Support Fund (Fund) under the Energy Community Secretariat (Secretariat) continues to play one of the key roles in the recovery of Ukraine’s energy system from the Russian Federation's devastating attacks, including systematic assistance to Ukrainian energy companies.

Recently, one of the most modern wind power plants in Ukraine, damaged by Russia's attacks, received three new wind turbine blades, procured, delivered and installed under the Fund for a total value of EUR 3.23 million. 

The procurement and delivery of these wind turbine blades were possible thanks to support from the European Union (EU) and Denmark through the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the Fund, administered by the Secretariat. 

“When we rebuild Ukraine’s wind turbines, we do more than restore power to the Ukrainian people and industry. We support the fight for freedom and secure a stronger and more sustainable Ukraine and Europe in the future. The partnership between our two countries is as important as ever, and I am glad, that the EU and Denmark can help,” says Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities Lars Aagaard. 

Wind energy plays a key role in Ukraine’s transition to clean energy. The wind power plant generates “green” electricity that reduces dependence on fossil fuels while strengthening the resilience of the Ukrainian energy system. Every restored turbine brings additional megawatt-hours of clean power for families, hospitals, and businesses that urgently need a stable electricity supply.  

"Renewable energy plays an exceptionally important role in strengthening Ukraine's energy resilience and in the reconstruction process. We thank our partners from Denmark, the EU, and the Energy Community for this cooperation. The purchased equipment for wind turbines will make it possible to increase capacity and raise the share of clean energy in our energy mix. This is a very important contribution by our partners not only to strengthening energy independence, but also to Ukraine's further progress along the path of green transformation",  added Svitlana Grynchuk, Minister of Energy of Ukraine. 

Despite the ongoing damage to Ukraine’s energy system caused by Russian attacks, Ukraine, together with international partners, is working daily and efficiently to restore damaged infrastructure. The support of the EU and Denmark is a proper example of how joint efforts not only eliminate the consequences of the attacks but also move Ukraine forward in the development of a sustainable and decentralised energy system. 

“EU & Denmark help bring clean power back to Ukraine: new blades are installed under the Fund at one of the most modern wind farms of Ukraine, restoring damaged infrastructure and ensuring continued supply of decentralised, green electricity. Thanks to ongoing donors’ support and fruitful partnership with the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, together we bring sustainable energy future for Ukraine,” added Artur Lorkowski, Director of the Energy Community Secretariat.  

Jocelin Cornet, Head of Section for Reconstruction, Energy, Infrastructure and Environment at the EU Delegation to Ukraine, said: “The EU is proud to stand with Ukraine as it rebuilds its energy system. With the installation of new blades, this wind farm can again supply clean electricity to the grid, supporting households, hospitals, schools, and businesses. Each repaired blade strengthens Ukraine’s energy security and brings the country closer to a modern, decentralised and resilient power system.” 

The Secretariat and the Fund's donors remain firmly engaged in the recovery efforts for Ukraine, delivering rapid response and modernisation under the Fund. The joint key results achieved since 2022 include:  

• more than 800 supply contracts financed;
• EUR 682 million contracted;
• a total of 59 Ukrainian energy companies have signed contracts for supply of energy equipment, services, and passive protection measures, while support requests have been approved for 72 energy companies overall; 
• projects implemented across 21 regions of Ukraine. 

As the winter season 2025/2026 approaches, and with the current gap between received support requests and available funding calculated at over EUR 500 million, the Secretariat urges all partners to join the Fund and all donors to increase their contributions to ensure proper winterisation efforts.  

The Secretariat is grateful to each donor for their trust, solidarity, and fruitful cooperation, which bring tangible results in close partnership with the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and Ukrainian energy companies.
