Germany has allocated more than one billion euros in emergency aid for Ukraine's energy sector

The Federal Republic of Germany remains Ukraine’s largest bilateral donor in the energy sector, having allocated more than 1.2 billion euros to its reconstruction. 

This was stated by Stefan Rauenhof, State Secretary at the German Ministry of Economy and Energy, at a conference in Berlin, according to Ukrinform.

The official emphasized that the large-scale financial and material assistance is intended to protect Ukrainian infrastructure from Russian missile and drone attacks.

To improve the effectiveness of cooperation between the countries, a special interagency working group is in place, coordinating efforts directly with energy companies. Thanks to this cooperation, German companies have significantly increased the supply of critically important spare parts and equipment. In addition, Berlin remains the main contributor to the International Energy Support Fund for Ukraine, providing one-third of its total financial resources.

The German side is also actively involved in financing Ukraine’s strategic plan to build up reserve stocks of components. This will enable domestic specialists to promptly carry out repair work on damaged facilities during future heating seasons. The partners assured that support for the energy system will continue in accordance with the severity and urgency of the current situation on the ground.

Germany has transferred three cogeneration units to Ukraine for the Chernihiv region, which are intended to ensure a stable supply of heat and electricity.

As part of the emergency energy support package, Germany provided Ukraine with the first two cogeneration plants to supply heat and electricity to residents of Kyiv.
