Ireland contributes additional EUR 25 million to Ukraine Energy Support Fund

Ireland has made a new contribution of EUR 25 million to Ukraine Energy Support Fund, bringing its total contribution to EUR 52 million.

"We thank Ireland for supporting Ukraine's energy sector during this difficult period. The Fund is an effective and transparent tool for supporting Ukrainian energy. It is used to purchase equipment for repairs, restore damaged facilities and expand generation capacity. In this way, our partners' support helps us restore electricity supply again and again after Russian attacks and bring light back to the homes of millions of Ukrainian families, as well as to schools, hospitals and businesses," said Denys Shmyhal, First Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Energy.

In October, the Fund also received grant contributions from Germany (EUR 249.7 million), Malta (EUR 50,000) and the Hungarian company REKK (EUR 3,000).
