Imports of electric generator sets and rotating electrical converters to Ukraine in January–September 2025 increased 4.2 times compared to the same period in 2024, reaching $1.209 billion, according to data from the State Customs Service (SCS).
According to the SCS, the largest suppliers of equipment were the Czech Republic (19.7% of the total volume, $238.1 million), Romania (18.5%, $223.3 million), and Poland (12.5%, $150.6 million).
For comparison, last year’s leaders were China ($69.8 million), Turkey ($61.4 million), and the Czech Republic ($31.9 million).
In September 2025, imports of generators increased almost threefold compared to September last year, reaching $191.6 million.
Exports of such equipment from Ukraine remain insignificant — $3.52 million in nine months, mainly to the Czech Republic, Latvia, and Bulgaria.
According to the State Customs Service, the sharp increase in imports is associated with the active modernization of energy infrastructure and the continuing demand for autonomous power sources.
The authorities had previously exempted generators and batteries from customs duties and VAT (Cabinet of Ministers resolution of July 2024).
