Looking ahead:
- Ukraine preparing for a 4th winter of war. In August we lent Naftogaz €500mn to buy gas (with €450mn EU guarantee)
- Energy system pivoting towards renewables-based future

This is more than investment.
This is systemic change in action.

Our @odilerenaudbasso.bsky.social, Hüseyin Özhan & Harry Boyd-Carpenter, together w/ the energy ministers of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic & Uzbekistan, signed MoU paving the way for the Kambar-Ata 1 hydropower project to move into its implementation phase, key step toward regional energy cooperation

The plant will have 4 turbines with a combined 1,860MW of capacity and is expected to generate about 5.6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, while also creating hectares of arable land.

We’ve:

✅ €1.7bn for Naftogaz in Ukraine and €700m for Ukrenergo by 2025
✅ Financed Naftogaz to buy gas for 1m+ homes a year in wartime
✅ Secured emergency electricity from 🇵🇱 & 🇸🇰

This is systemic impact in action.

The first line of defence: liquidity that keeps the lights on.

When Russia launched its full-scale war in 2022, Ukraine’s energy system faced an existential threat. Would power companies survive? Would homes stay lit & warm?

⚡ Repair. Reinforce. Repeat.
When Russian attacks left 10 million Ukrainians without power, EBRD stepped in-shielding the grid w/ repairs, autotransformers & bunkers, w/support from Norway, the UK, the USA, Italy.

Today, 1 in 3 electricity consumers benefit.

Distributed power generation 🔥 As attacks expanded to power stations, we pivoted to small gas-fired units for emergency power. These can later support Ukraine’s renewable energy ambitions.
