Estonia to send thermal power plant unit with capacity of 200 MW to Ukraine - Shmyhal

Estonia will send a thermal power plant unit with a capacity of 200 MW to Ukraine.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced this during the government meeting on June 4, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

According to him, the Energy Support Fund already has more than EUR 494 million in listed and announced contributions.

"We expect that there will be much more. In particular, Australia recently declared more than USD 12 million dollars in contributions, Sweden announced a contribution of EUR 42 million. Estonia will send an entire power unit of a thermal power plant with a capacity of 200 MW to Ukraine," Shmyhal said.

He added that Ukraine is also working on expanding imports from Europe to 2.2 GW.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, due to the shelling by the russian occupiers of the energy infrastructure after March 22, Ukraine's energy system lost about 9 GW of capacity.
