Norway Commits $200M for Ukraine’s Green Energy Recovery

At the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2025) in Rome, the Government of Norway and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) announced a $200 million initiative to support the green reconstruction of Ukraine’s energy sector, heavily damaged by Russian attacks, The Gaze reports, citing the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
The partnership will address both immediate energy needs and long-term modernization aligned with Ukraine’s national priorities. The program will help restore heating and water supply for millions, especially in frontline communities, and equip hospitals and water utilities with solar panels and battery backups to maintain essential services during power outages.
“This contribution is vital for restoring critical infrastructure and accelerating our transition to a decentralized, green energy system,” said Ukraine’s Minister of Energy, Herman Halushchenko.
Norwegian Minister of Trade and Industry Cecilie Myrseth emphasized Norway’s long-term commitment: “This support aims not only to meet urgent needs but also to build a resilient and sustainable energy future for Ukraine.”
In addition, Norway pledged €42 million to Ukraine’s Energy Support Fund and signed a €300,000 agreement with NEFCO to back clean energy and energy efficiency projects.
The initiative is seen as a key step toward strengthening Ukraine’s energy security and building back greener.
As The Gaze previously reported, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said that Ukraine got another €1 billion from the European Union from frozen Russian assets.
Additionally, at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome, Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp has stated that the Netherlands will allocate €300 million over 2025 and 2026 to support Ukraine’s reconstruction and strengthen its economy.
