KYIV, Nov 26 – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering granting a state-guaranteed loan of up to EUR 180 million to Ukrzaliznytsia, Ukraine's national railway operator, to finance emergency capital investments in small-scale gas power generation equipment with a total capacity of up to 270 MW.

"In the current crisis environment triggered by the war on Ukraine, the emergency capex program covering supply and installation of up to 270 MW of small scale power generation capacity will support the Company in addressing the electricity deficit and ensuring uninterrupted energy supply to the population and businesses," the EBRD said on its website.
