Support to Ukrainian Energy Sector
Since the beginning of the full scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, energy infrastructure has been a main target for Russian attacks. These attacks resulted in extensive damage across the country which caused disruptions in gas and heating networks, as well as electricity supplies. However, the access to water, telecommunication and banking has also been affected by damages to the country’s energy infrastructure. As of today, repair work is still ongoing without interruption. Emergency repairs are carried out by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and the State Transmission system operator “Ukrenergo”.
Donation Campaign for the Ukrainian Energy Sector
The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy (MinEnergo) has sent a request for help to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (formerly German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action) after the start of the Russian war of aggression. Under the umbrella of the German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership, a donation campaign for technical equipment for the Ukrainian energy sector was launched.
- The BMWE encourages associations and companies in the German energy industry to consider the request for assistance and to contribute with donations if possible.
- The team of the donation campaign supports the coordination and management of these donations on behalf of the BMWE.
- The Federal Ministry of Finance has created the conditions for expenditures for parties affected by the war in Ukraine to be deductible for tax purposes.
Technical goods are needed for the repair and maintenance of electricity and gas networks and other energy infrastructure in Ukraine, which were damaged or destroyed by the war.
Procurement Campaign for the Ukrainian Energy Sector
GIZ carried out a procurement campaign to purchase goods dedicated to the Ukrainian energy sector in the framework of the Federal Government’s Ukraine Winter Aid on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The German-Ukrainian Energy Partnership is the central platform for coordinating cooperation with industry and associations for the procurement campaign, frequently involving companies and associations of the energy industry in information and networking events.
