18 container-type gas piston power plants were purchased and transferred to JSC Ukrzaliznytsia as part of the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine for a total amount of EUR 21.6 million.
“These units will provide Ukrzaliznytsia with 41.4 MW of generating capacity, which will significantly enhance the stability and reliability of energy supplies for the stable operation of critical infrastructure,” the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine said on Thursday.
The purchase and delivery of these units were made possible by a contribution from the United Kingdom through the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to the Fund. The project was implemented under the coordination of the Energy Community Secretariat (ECS).
As emphasized by the ministry, the importance of uninterrupted energy supply in wartime, especially for national transport infrastructure, cannot be overestimated. Container-type gas piston power plants are a practical, flexible, and effective solution to overcome the challenges caused by constant Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
According to the Ministry of Energy, since 2022, the Energy Support Fund of Ukraine has financed more than 790 contracts, contracted goods and services worth EUR 669 million, approved applications for the purchase of equipment for 71 companies, and implemented projects in 21 regions of Ukraine.
