The situation

As a result of the bombardments, more than a third of Ukraine's electricity production capacity is now out of service and more than a million homes are without power. Energy infrastructures are the new prime targets of Russian strikes, including infrastructures in the west of the country, which had long been spared. All regions are now affected, with the national operator Ukrenergo cutting power to stabilise the network. The power cuts are becoming more frequent and longer, plunging Ukrainians into darkness.

Challenges

Against this backdrop, local authorities, particularly those in rural areas, regularly contact us as the winter approaches, which is very harsh in Ukraine, to help them obtain generators.

Electricity is the foundation of all vital services. Access to drinking water, healthcare, communications (essentially to alert populations of bombardments) depend on access to electricity.

Our impact

We are looking for depreciated generators that can be donated, second-hand generators that can be bought at a preferential price and financial donations to finance these purchases and transport to the heart of the country. We are looking for power from 10 to 200KVa and more. Our aim is to equip as many villages as possible before winter sets in. If you think you can help us with equipment, please contact us.
