Ukraine, Kyiv: Under the coordination of the Ministry of Energy, in January 2024, Ukraine received another batch of aid from Azerbaijan.
The aid includes 25 cargoes of electrical equipment for restoration works. This is the fourth batch of aid from Azerbaijan, and it includes transformer substations, a transformer, wires, disconnectors and other equipment necessary for restoration and repair activities.
“We thank our partners for this support. The equipment provided will be used by Ukrainian power engineers to restore facilities that continue to be subjected to enemy shelling, particularly in the frontline regions. The work carried out allows us to maintain stable operation of the power system and meet the needs of consumers in electricity and heat supply,” said Minister of Energy of Ukraine German Galushchenko.
The equipment received from Azerbaijan in November 2023 and January 2024 was distributed among 24 energy companies, namely electricity distribution system operators, heat supply companies, gas, coal and nuclear industries. Since March 2022, Ukraine has received 92 shipments of power equipment from Azerbaijan with a total weight of over 1,585 tonnes, including 51 power transformers, 111 transformer substations and other equipment. This helped Ukraine carry out a large-scale repair campaign, with more than 2.2 GW of capacity added to the power grid.
