Ukraine’s Energy Support Fund Secures Over €105 Million in Late-Year Contributions
Ukraine’s international partners injected more than €105 million into the country’s Energy Support Fund in the final days of 2025.
The Gaze reports this, referring to a statement made by Ukraine's Ministry of Energy.
According to the ministry, the late-December tranche amounted to €105.74 million, bringing total contributions to the Fund since its launch in April 2022 to €1.613 billion from 36 international partners.
The largest single contribution came from the European Commission, which provided €90 million. Additional funding was pledged by the United Kingdom (€11.42 million), Estonia (€2 million), the Netherlands (€1 million), Portugal (€600,000), Austria (€500,000), and Latvia (€217,000).
Overall, partner countries transferred €350.5 million to the Fund in December alone, underscoring a year-end acceleration in support for Ukraine’s energy sector.
The Ministry of Energy said that most funding requests during the month focused on purchasing equipment for electricity distribution operators to restore networks damaged by shelling. Priority items included power transformers, current and voltage transformers, SF₆ circuit breakers, disconnectors, and related hardware essential for grid resilience.
Separately, on December 30, Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved a resolution aligning government decisions with existing legislation to ensure the uninterrupted supply of critically important goods, including those vital to the energy sector.
The Energy Support Fund remains a central mechanism for channeling international assistance into rapid repairs and longer-term stabilization of Ukraine’s power system as the country continues to face sustained Russian attacks on its critical infrastructure.
As The Gaze previously reported, Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure are cutting electricity to an average of around 400,000 consumers every day, mainly in frontline and border regions.
