Luxembourg has increased its contribution to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund to $13 million. An additional $10.8 million has already been transferred and is fully available in the Fund’s account, Ministry of Energy of Ukraine announced on July 16.
The funding comes just days after Ukraine and its international partners agreed on key priorities to strengthen energy resilience during the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 in Rome. It’s also a clear signal of Luxembourg’s continued solidarity with Ukraine.
“We are sincerely grateful to the government and people of Luxembourg for their generous support. Ukraine highly values this unwavering assistance. Every contribution strengthens not just our energy security, but that of all Europe. These funds will be directed to urgent emergency repairs of critical infrastructure damaged daily by Russian attacks,” said Ukraine’s Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.
The new contribution reflects Luxembourg’s consistent support for boosting Ukraine’s energy resilience, especially as Russian attacks on critical infrastructure intensify. It also highlights the strategic role of the Energy Support Fund in enabling fast responses ahead of the winter season 2025–2026 and backing Ukraine’s long-term shift to a modern, decentralized, and sustainable energy system.
The Fund is managed by the Energy Community Secretariat in close coordination with Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy, ensuring transparency and effective use of donor funds. The Secretariat is now coordinating the allocation of Luxembourg’s increased contribution based on Ukraine’s urgent needs.
“We warmly welcome this new contribution, which strengthens the Fund’s role as an effective, flexible, and transparent tool—capable of rapid response and supporting comprehensive modernization of Ukraine’s energy system. Every contribution helps close the still significant gap between available resources and priority needs for Ukraine’s energy resilience,” said Artur Lorkowski, Director of the Energy Community Secretariat.
According to the Minstry, since April 2022, the Fund has mobilized over $1.26 billion from more than 33 donors. It has supported over 790 contracts worth $725 million, delivering to more than 50 Ukrainian energy companies across 21 regions.
Still, the current gap between available resources and priority needs stands at around $675 million. The Secretariat is urging donors to step up their support.
Earlier, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden confirmed their readiness to join a new initiative launched by US President Donald Trump. The program would allow European allies to purchase American weapons, including Patriot air defense systems, for transfer to Ukraine.
