We’ve:
✅ €1.7bn for Naftogaz in Ukraine and €700m for Ukrenergo by 2025
✅ Financed Naftogaz to buy gas for 1m+ homes a year in wartime
✅ Secured emergency electricity from 🇵🇱 & 🇸🇰
This is systemic impact in action.
We acted fast—providing emergency liquidity to keep electricity & gas flowing.
Together with the European Union, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, TaiwanBusiness EBRD-TC Fund, the UK and the US.
The first line of defence: liquidity that keeps the lights on.
When Russia launched its full-scale war in 2022, Ukraine’s energy system faced an existential threat. Would power companies survive? Would homes stay lit & warm?

⚡ Repair. Reinforce. Repeat.
When Russian attacks left 10 million Ukrainians without power, EBRD stepped in-shielding the grid w/ repairs, autotransformers & bunkers, w/support from Norway, the UK, the USA, Italy.
Today, 1 in 3 electricity consumers benefit.
As Ukraine under PM Svyrydenko prepares for another hard wartime winter, we’re here to help.
This is impact investing in action. Energy security today. A greener tomorrow. Not just projects — but a system. 🇺🇦💡
Renewables for the future 🌱 We’re investing in hydropower, wind, solar, and biofuels—partnering with Ukrainian and international players to build a cleaner, more resilient energy system. Goldbeck Solar, OKKO Group.

Distributed power generation 🔥 As attacks expanded to power stations, we pivoted to small gas-fired units for emergency power. These can later support Ukraine’s renewable energy ambitions.

Protective infrastructure 🛡️ Repairing damage wasn’t enough. We funded the construction of protective bunkers to shield critical energy assets from future attacks.
