The German Federal Ministry for International Development and Cooperation (BMZ) will allocate an additional €70M to support Ukraine’s energy sector, particularly decentralized energy and heat supply. This will help ensure heat, water, and electricity for about 2.6 million Ukrainians in the short term. Notably, the German Cooperation (GIZ) is already urgently purchasing €50M worth of necessary equipment for decentralized electricity and heat supply. This equipment includes hybrid generators, modular boiler systems, containerized pellet heating systems, cogeneration plants, and photovoltaic battery systems. German companies account for 65% of these contracts. Additionally, UNICEF, through the KfW bank, is providing €20M to supply heat and electricity to nearly 1,300 schools and kindergartens, as well as 10 hospitals. Germany also transferred an extra €4.5M to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund (UESF). Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, Germany has contributed nearly €390M. The German government plans to transfer another €168M to the UESF. Additionally, Latvia has joined this effort with an additional contribution of €200,000.
