The Gaze reports on it according to Ukrenergo FB
The European Investment Bank is one of Ukrenergo's key partners. Financing the construction of protective structures at our critical facilities is an area where EIB support is particularly significant. Following the resumption of massive Russian attacks, it is extremely important that the international community continues to support Ukraine's energy system. To keep the lights on in Ukrainian homes, we must not only maintain the current pace of emergency repair work, but also accelerate it. The same applies to the construction of protective infrastructure. I am very grateful to our partners for supporting us, listening to our requests and actively offering their assistance," said Vitaliy Zaychenko, Chairman of the Board of NEC Ukrenergo.
For his part, Matteo Rivellini, Head of Investment for Ukraine at the European Investment Bank, noted: "The scale and intensity of the recent attacks once again demonstrate how important it is to protect Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The EIB remains steadfastly committed to supporting Ukraine during this difficult period, helping to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to millions of people."
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the European Investment Bank has provided €136 million to NPC Ukrenergo. Most of these funds were used to build anti-drone protection at key substations in the electricity transmission system.
