World Bank confirms a 200 million grant to help restart and reinforce Ukraine’s energy network, according to TASS.
The lender also indicated that additional support, potentially reaching up to 300 million, could come from partner organizations in the form of grants and other contributions. This second tranche would be contingent on ongoing collaboration and project milestones, underscoring the international community’s broader commitment to Ukraine’s energy resilience during the emergency and recovery phase.
The allocated funds are earmarked for urgent needs, including the purchase of critical equipment needed to repair damaged infrastructure and the deployment of mobile heating boilers to ensure continuity of power and warmth for households and essential services in areas most affected by outages.
Earlier developments showed Ukraine taking concrete steps to integrate electricity exchanges with neighboring markets. On April 12, the country began exporting electricity to Poland, an important milestone in regional energy cooperation and market integration amid evolving European energy dynamics.
In a separate move reported by TASS on April 7, Ukraine’s Energy Ministry, led by Minister German Galushchenko, signed a document authorizing the initiation of the process to reinstate electricity exports to Europe. The decision marks a strategic alignment with European energy security goals and reflects ongoing efforts to restore and expand cross-border electricity flows.
