The UK is handing over another batch of mobile power generators to Ukraine, Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko and British Energy Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said on their Twitter pages on Wednesday.
“Thanks to mobile generators we will ensure a stable power supply to important facilities, despite yet more damages caused by Russian shellings,” Haluschenko wrote.
“More mobile generators heading to Ukraine. The UK is donating 570 generators to ensure hospitals, phone masts, shelters and water pumping stations can continue to operate in the face of continued Russian attack,” Kwasi Kwarteng said on Twitter.
The UK handed over the first part of the 570 generators – almost 200 – to Ukraine in April. They already serve as backup power sources for reliable power supply to various social and infrastructure facilities in case of damage to electrical equipment and networks
Ukraine has received two batches of mobile power generators in a total of 177 received from the UK to maintain the reliability of the country’s energy supply, the Ministry of Energy said in a statement.
“In total, the UK announced the transfer of more than 500 portable generators, which will be used by both public and commercial energy companies to provide sustainable power to social facilities, homes, businesses,” the ministry said.
The generators will become a backup source of power in the event of a power outage as a result of enemy shelling of electrical networks and equipment.
“One of our main tasks is to provide our citizens, businesses, the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a stable energy supply. At a time when the Russian invaders are destroying our power grids and critical energy infrastructure, these generators will become an additional guarantee of a reliable energy supply for Ukrainians,” Minister of Energy German Galushchenko stressed. .
As informed in the Ministry of Energy, in the near future, deliveries of the following batches of mobile power generators from the UK are expected.
