The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is lending €180 million to Ukrainian Railways (Ukrzaliznytsia, or UZ) to install small-scale generators at sites around the country, aiming to mitigate the widespread electricity shortages Ukraine expects this winter as a result of devastating Russian attacks this year on its power generation system.The loan will finance the supply and installation of up to 270 MW of decentralised small-scale gas-fired power generation capacity at selected existing UZ sites across Ukraine, helping to address the electricity deficit and to ensure an uninterrupted supply of energy to Ukrainian people and businesses. The project, which will cost a total of €248 million, will make the national energy system more resilient.The EBRD loan will be co-financed by a parallel investment grant of up to £10 million (€12 million) from the United Kingdom and an investment grant of up to €56 million from a multilateral or bilateral international donor.
