Ukraine Energy Support Fund facilitates delivery of equipment to Mykolaiv to protect critical infrastructure
As Ukraine prepares for the 2024-2025 winter, the first energy companies in Mykolaiv region have been equipped through the Ukraine Energy Support Fund (UESF) with physical protection for critical infrastructure against shelling.
The UESF was established by the Energy Community Secretariat, co-chaired by the European Commission, to mitigate the impact of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure. It allows governments, international organisations, and corporate donors to provide financial support to the Ukrainian energy sector. To date, the Fund has reached €500 million in pledges from, inter-alia, the European Union, Germany, Sweden, the United States, Denmark, and Great Britain.
In Mykolaiv, the Fund helped to procure 87 gabions and 1,040 tons of natural sand. This effort ensures the protection of both existing equipment and new acquisitions made within the Fund’s framework amid increasing threats.
Previously, the Ukraine Energy Support Fund has supplied Mykolaiv with essential equipment, including five emergency vehicles, excavators, mobile cranes, manipulator cranes, and other necessary machinery, valued at €14 million.
