At the meeting of the International Energy Agency, Ukraine agreed with its partners on more than EUR 600 million for energy and the receipt of decommissioned equipment from 6 European combined heat and power plants and thermal power plants for Ukrainian plants. First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Denys Shmyhal announced this on his Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
In particular, Shmyhal said about:
contributions to the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine in the amount of more than EUR 250 million;
agreements with the US on a separate assistance program through the SPARK project worth USD 276 million;
agreement with France on EUR 71 million of humanitarian support to be provided in 2026.
The Minister also announced agreements with Latvia, Austria, Finland, Croatia, France and Germany on the possibility of receiving decommissioned equipment and its prompt delivery to Ukraine.
"The equipment will be moved and quickly assembled. We are talking about at least 6 decommissioned CHPPs and TPPs that will be transferred to Ukraine. This way we will be able to quickly restore the operation of key stations destroyed by the enemy," he said.
He also announced the signing of a roadmap with France in the field of civilian nuclear energy and the conclusion of a memorandum with Canada on cooperation in the energy sector.
"We are creating a new architecture for coordinating aid - a single energy pipeline - so that aid comes faster, the nomenclature meets our needs and the efficiency of its use increases. Together with the Baltic States, Poland, Finland, Denmark and Norway, we have launched the Regional Coordination Platform for Energy Sustainability for the countries of the EU's north-eastern flank. We will have a common framework for understanding risks and jointly respond to numerous challenges," the Minister said.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the government is preparing a decision on rebuilding and updating the energy supply of communities.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that the Darnytska Combined Heat and Power Plant was critically damaged during the russian attack on February 3, and its restoration will take at least two months. At the same time, the mayor provided a list of 1,126 houses in the Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi Districts that cannot be supplied with heat until the damaged Darnytska CHPP is restored.
Klitschko also said that it is impossible to replace Kyiv's centralized heating system with local heat sources or cogeneration units.
