Croatia increases its contribution to Ukraine Energy Support Fund to €2.5 million 

The Republic of Croatia has signed a €1.5 million contribution to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, bringing its lifetime contribution to €2.5 million, the Fund announced on 21 April.

The contribution is already available for the Fund to use towards the procurement of urgent energy aid to Ukraine, in line with priorities identified by Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy.

“In a highly volatile context where ongoing and war-induced damage to energy infrastructure requires rapid and adaptive responses, Croatia’s contribution is invaluable,” said Energy Community Secretariat Director Artur Lorkowski. “The funds will be turned into an energy lifeline – ensuring that energy companies can continue to provide heat and light to communities across the country, despite ongoing attacks.”

Croatia’s most recent donation is part of an international response that has grown in proportion to Russia’s escalating energy war. To date, the Fund has signed over 1,000 supply contracts worth more than €910 million, with reported deliveries exceeding €650 million in key energy-related assistance, and the vast majority of procurements going to the country’s electricity generation and distribution capabilities.
