The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine’s emergency energy assistance hub has received 40 portable Daiden generators, each with a capacity of 6 kW, donated to Ukraine by the Philippine company Highball Traders Inc.

Last month, more than 33 tonnes of humanitarian assistance provided by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) were delivered from the warehouses of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine’s emergency energy assistance hubs to the Kyiv region.

The protective structures received will help strengthen energy facilities, enhance their resilience to potential attacks, ensure safer repair and restoration works, and contribute to the more reliable operation of energy infrastructure.

- As a result of hostilities and attacks on energy facilities, some consumers in the Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions remain temporarily without electricity. Restoration works are ongoing wherever security conditions permit. Energy workers are making every effort to restore power supply to all consumers as soon as possible.

- The situation remains most challenging in the Odesa region. The enemy again attacked energy infrastructure facilities overnight. Restoration works are ongoing.

Power transformers provided by North Macedonian company Rade Končar have been delivered from the warehouses of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine’s emergency energy assistance hubs to energy enterprises in the Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The equipment will be used to restore and maintain the operation of energy infrastructure in regions that are regularly targeted by Russian attacks.

We express our gratitude to North Macedonia and Rade Končar for their support for Ukraine’s energy sector and solidarity with Ukraine.
