KYIV, Oct 25 – Norway, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has provided financial support totaling NOK 1.1 billion ($105 million) to restore Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, create reserve capacity, and accelerate Ukraine’s transition to a more diversified and resilient energy mix.

“This partnership will ensure power generating capacity in Ukraine is restored, with direct support to key regions in Ukraine. This contribution will significantly mitigate the impact of ongoing attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. As part of this strengthened partnership, solar panels will be installed to provide renewable backup power for schools and hospitals, while a recent agreement ensures the delivery of an additional 80 MW of capacity to the national power grid this winter,” the UNDP press service said.
