The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with 178 million euros to help it prepare for winter
The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with 178 million euros to prepare for the 2026/2027 heating season, develop distributed generation, and strengthen energy resilience. The country also plans to transfer decommissioned gas turbines to Ukraine this fall.
This was announced by Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal.
The parties signed a corresponding Roadmap for Cooperation in the Energy Sector during the Conference on Ukraine’s Recovery in Gdańsk. The document provides for the coordination of efforts to prepare for the heating season, as well as the identification and accelerated procurement of critically important equipment.
Ukraine and the Netherlands will also work to repurpose equipment from decommissioned power plants to build reserves and restore damaged energy infrastructure.
A separate area of cooperation will be the development of distributed generation using Dutch technologies and private-sector involvement. Ukraine has already provided its partners with a list of priority needs and is counting on the supply of cogeneration units and other equipment to strengthen the power grid.
