NEC “Ukrenergo” received EUR 86 million from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the installation of anti-drone protection at key substations of the electric power system.
This was reported by the company’s press service in Telegram.
According to the acting head of Ukrenergo Oleksiy Brekht, the protection of critical substation equipment is necessary due to constant Russian attacks.
“The effectiveness of already implemented projects was confirmed during the last massive attacks with the use of missiles and drones in November-December. We continue the fortification work. The more substations can be protected, the more reliable the country’s energy system will be, and the risk of outages for consumers will be minimized,” said Brecht.
EIB Vice President Tereza Chervinska emphasized the importance of this investment for strengthening Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in the face of a war threat.
“By financing the construction of anti-drone protection, we help Ukrenergo to ensure a stable supply of electricity throughout the country, which is important for both citizens and businesses,” she emphasized.
As Ukrenergo reports, the total amount of credit support that the EIB has provided to the company since the start of the full-scale war has already reached 136 million euros.
On December 23, emergency shutdowns of electricity were warned in Kyiv, Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Cherkasy, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kirovohrad and Poltava regions.
