Following a series of targeted missile and drone attacks by Russia on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in recent weeks, Ukraine’s electricity supply has suffered significant damage. The EU subsequently mobilized emergency energy assistance. Austria also supplies electricity generators.
According to the European Commission, Austria, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have offered 157 power generators in different sizes.
To further strengthen Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the EU is also sending ten high-capacity power generators (1 MW) worth EUR 3.57 million from its own RescEU stocks. Each of these powerful 1 MW generators could provide power to a medium-sized hospital in an emergency.
The EU Emergency Coordination Center is in close contact with Ukrainian authorities on the ground to provide further assistance if necessary.
EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič thanked Austria, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands for their offer of generators to Ukraine through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
