Growing donor backing expands Ukraine Energy Support Fund to 35 partners in last two months of 2025

The Ukraine Energy Support Fund announced at the end of December a significant increase in contributions over the last two months. With 35 partners now supporting the Fund and signed contributions nearing €1.65 billion in 2025, donors have reaffirmed their commitment to transparent and accountable delivery of urgent support to Ukraine’s energy sector.

The Ukraine Energy Support Fund is managed by the Energy Community Secretariat, co-chaired by the European Commission.

According to the Fund, a large share of recent contributions, received after November’s Rebuild Ukraine Conference in Warsaw, is already available in the Fund’s special-purpose account and is being used to procure urgently needed equipment in response to the latest Russian attacks.

“The timely mobilisation of these funds enables swift action ahead of what is turning into one of the most challenging winters since the start of the full-scale war, supporting emergency works, equipment replacement, protective measures, and solutions that enhance decentralisation and system resilience,” the Fund says.

Already available contributions, all received in December 2025, include:  

• The Federal Republic of Germany contributed €160.1 million from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) through the KfW Development Bank and €7.5 million from the German Federal Foreign Office, increasing Germany’s total support through the Fund to €557 million.  
• Latvia made an additional contribution of €217,000 to the Fund on top of its €400,000 contribution made earlier, raising Latvia’s total support to Ukraine through the Fund to €617,000. 
• Ireland joined the Ukraine Energy Support Fund as a new donor in 2025, committing €2 million. 
• Sweden’s SEK 696 million (approximately €63.3 million) increased its total Fund support to €203 million. 
• The Kingdom of the Netherlands deposited an additional €1 million contribution, increasing its total support to €66 million. The funds will be allocated to both urgent emergency repairs and the scaling up of sustainable energy solutions for Ukrainian healthcare facilities under Ray of Hope. 
• The United Kingdom’s newly signed GBP 10 million (approximately €11.4 million), increasing its total support to EUR 168 million. 

The following donor contributions have been signed and are scheduled to be transferred in the coming days: 

• The European Union has signed a new contribution of €100 million, increasing its total support to Ukraine’s energy resilience through the Fund to €259 million. 
• Austria has signed an additional €0.5 million contribution to the Fund, bringing its total support to €15.5 million. The new commitment will help sustain emergency repairs and system stability of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
• Estonia signed a contribution to the Fund of €2 million through its Ministry of Climate to support the restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and ensure security of supply. This renewed support comes on top of a previous €620,000  contribution through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Since its establishment in March 2022, the Fund has concluded more than 1,000 contracts worth over €800 million, delivering more than €500 million in essential energy equipment, services, and passive protection measures to Ukraine. The Fund’s Ray of Hope initiative has also expanded, installing sustainable energy solutions in healthcare facilities to ensure continued delivery of life-saving services, even during recent blackouts.

A financial deficit of almost €500 million remains to fully allocate all current support requests.
