Slovenia joins Ukraine Energy Support Fund with €500,000 contribution 

Slovenia has joined the Ukraine Energy Support Fund with a contribution of €500,000, bringing the total number of donors to 37, the Fund announced on 4 March.

The new contribution will support ongoing efforts to restore damage caused during the winter heating season while helping Ukraine fortify itself for the next winter period – preparations for which have already begun. 

“Five years into the full-scale invasion, the growing donor community of the Ukraine Energy Support Fund shows that solidarity continues to grow stronger,” said Artur Lorkowski, Director of the Energy Community Secretariat, which administers the Fund. “This is the response we need to safeguard Ukraine’s place in a European energy future.” 

The Energy Community Secretariat, co-chaired by the European Commission, continues to work closely with the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine to accelerate recovery and strengthen preparedness through a coordinated approach.

Since its launch in spring 2022, the Fund has concluded more than 1,000 supply contracts worth approximately €850 million. To date, over €618 million in essential energy equipment, services, and passive protection measures have been delivered to eligible Ukrainian energy companies. Since mid-November 2025 alone, more than €582 million has been signed to reinforce the resilience of Ukraine’s energy system.
