a Lithuanian energy player, Ignitis groupė, announced its intention to donate a portion of its unplanned profits from 2022 to Ukraine. The announcement came through a statement issued by Darius Maikstenas, the executive director of Ignitis groupė, and was reported by ELTA. the message outlines the financial figure and the proposed use of funds, signaling a commitment to supporting Ukraine during a time of energy-related disruption.
in 2022, the green production segment reported an unplanned profit of 114.2 million euros. if the shareholders approve at the upcoming meeting, approximately 10 percent of this figure could be allocated to Ukraine. this would translate to about 11.4 million euros, depending on the final decision of the shareholders. the intent is clear: the funds would be directed toward restoring and reinforcing Ukraine’s energy infrastructure to help stabilize electricity supply for households and critical facilities.
the announcement also notes that the proposal to distribute unplanned profits to Ukraine is not a standalone gesture. Ignitis groupė has reached out to the global energy community, with 56 energy companies around the world being contacted to consider similar contributions. this outreach underscores the broader sense of international solidarity within the energy sector and highlights the potential for a coordinated response to Ukraine’s infrastructure needs.
within the broader context of Ukraine’s energy security, remarks from Ukrainian leadership emphasize ongoing efforts to manage power supply and infrastructure resilience. according to a recent statement from the Ukrainian government’s energy sector, power outages are being avoided only if there are no further strikes on critical infrastructure. such updates frame the importance of international cooperation and financial support in sustaining Ukraine’s energy system during periods of conflict and reconstruction. attribution: statements from Ukrainian authorities and Ignitis groupė press communications provide the foundation for these updates, with the intent to contribute to energy resilience in Ukraine through financial support and industry collaboration.
