U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesperson
For Immediate Release
FACT SHEET
November 29, 2022
In the midst of Russia’s continued brutal attacks against Ukraine’s energy
infrastructure, Secretary of State Blinken announced today during a meeting of
the G7+ on the margins of the NATO Ministerial in Bucharest that the United
States government is providing over $53 million to support acquisition of
critical electricity grid equipment. This equipment will be rapidly delivered to
Ukraine on an emergency basis to help Ukrainians persevere through the winter.
This supply package will include distribution transformers, circuit breakers,
surge arresters, disconnectors, vehicles and other key equipment.
This new assistance is in addition to $55 million in emergency energy sector
support for generators and other equipment to help restore emergency power and
heat to local municipalities impacted by Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s power
system. We will continue to identify additional support with allies and
partners, and we are also helping to devise long-term solutions for grid
restoration and repair, along with our assistance for Ukraine’s effort to
advance the energy transition and build an energy system decoupled from Russian
energy.
Since Russia’s further invasion on February 24, working together with Congress,
the Administration has provided nearly $32 billion in assistance to Ukraine,
including $145 million to help repair, maintain, and strengthen Ukraine’s power
sector in the face of continued attacks. We also have provided assistance in
areas such as EU integration and regional electricity trade, natural gas sector
support to maximize resource development, support for nuclear safety and
security, and humanitarian relief efforts to help Ukrainians to overcome the
impacts of energy shortages.
Since 2014, the United States has provided over $160 million in technical
support to strengthen Ukraine’s energy security, including to strengthen EU
interconnectivity, increase energy supply diversification, and promote
investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean energy
technologies and innovation. Much of this support has helped prepare Ukraine
for its eventual interconnection with Europe’s ENTSO-E electricity grid,
including the island mode test in February 2022 that not only demonstrated
Ukraine’s progress in meeting the EU’s technical requirements, but also proved
to be critical considering Russia’s subsequent military activity aimed at
disrupting power supplies and distribution in Ukraine.
Specific examples of U.S. energy security support this year include:
USAID
* Based on consultations with Ukrenergo, relevant municipalities, and the
Ministries of Energy, Regions, and Infrastructure in Ukraine, USAID is
responding to nearly $80 million of high priority energy sector procurement
needs, focused on the areas of emergency power generation, electric system
repair, natural gas, and heating.
* Procured and delivered approximately $23 million of items to support
Ukraine’s energy sector. This support includes back-up generators; first aid
and body armor equipment for utility workers; mobile boiler houses; and miles
of piping and associated equipment for heating networks.
* Currently finalizing procurement of $10.6 million of electrical equipment for
the restoration of high-voltage substations as well as heavy equipment for
power system repairs in five municipalities.
* Approximately $46 million of additional procurements underway with expected
delivery dates in 2023. These procurements are focused on provision of mobile
boiler houses and related equipment as well as additional repair materials
for the electric power system. We expect this assistance to provide heating
for 7 million civilians in 19 oblasts, beginning later this winter.
* Provided modeling, analytical, and methodological technical assistance to
Ukrenergo that helped ensure:
* Successful completion of island mode test on Feb 24, 2022.
* Emergency synchronization with European Network of Transmission System
Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) on March 16, 2022.
* Launch of commercial exports in June 2022.
* Retuning of Ukraine’s generation fleet in order to fulfill Ukraine’s
requirement from the ENTSO-E catalog of measures.
* Improved the flexibility and resilience of the gas transmission system by:
* Procuring and providing training on upgraded national dispatch software.
* Delivering a mobile backup dispatch center.
* Completing a financial stress test and financial model of the impact of the
war on GTSO operations and recommendations for remediation.
* In cooperation with the Energy Community Secretariat, USAID engaged energy
regulator (NEURC) to reconsider emergency measures to suspend the competitive
electricity market trading.
* Provided analytical and technical support to the Rada Subcommittee on Energy
that resulted in:
* Passage of the Law on Energy Storage, creating a market-based regime for
energy storage aligned with the European regulations.
* Market monitoring and surveillance legislation (e.g., REMIT) passing its
first reading. A second reading expected in December 2022.
* Passage of the law establishing corporate power purchase agreements for
renewable energy.
* In support of USAID Administrator Power’s commitment of $55 million to
support winter preparation, USAID analyzed winter heating supply and demand
and prepared a plan to assist local municipalities with emergency heat
systems, including mobile heating units, heating tents, and pipelines and
advanced procurement of these systems in close cooperation with the municipal
governments. Of that, the following has been delivered:
* 2,200 generators to communities, district heating companies, and health
facilities across the country.
* Equipment to Kyivteploenergo, Kyiv’s district heating company, that allowed
them to restore service to 22,000 customers and establish 1,000 emergency
heating points across the city.
* Serve as procurement authority for the Ukrainian Energy Support Fund,
established in April 2022 by the European Union’s Energy Community
Secretariat and Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy.
* Developed a financial model for liquidity support to Ukrainian electricity
market and key Ukrainian entities Ukrenergo, Guaranteed Buyer, Energoatom and
Ukrhydroenergo.
* Continuously analyzed balance sheets and cash flows of electricity and gas
transmission system operators and their regulatory tariffs.
* Analyzed financial impact of the war for renewable energy generation and
financial liabilities for Ukrainian entities Guaranteed Buyer and Ukrenergo.
* Prepared emergency modeling for electricity and gas sectors:
* Utilized the detailed ENTSO-E model for static and power flow simulations and
system reliability analyses for several contingency scenarios.
* Using the gas system simulator for winter gas need analyses.
Department of Energy (DOE)
* With the increased attacks on Ukraine’s electricity grid and energy
infrastructure in October, DOE worked with the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy
and DOE national laboratories to collate, vet, and help prioritize lists of
emergency electricity equipment for grid repair and stabilization.
* Engaged at the CEO level U.S. private sector and public utilities and
equipment manufacturers to identify $35 million of available electricity grid
equipment in the United States compatible with the Ukrainian system for
emergency delivery. Identified $17.5 million to support purchase and
transportation of this equipment.
* With support from Congress, initiated work on full integration of Ukraine
with ENTSO-E to support resumption of Ukrainian energy exports to other
European countries in the region, including funding for energy infrastructure
analysis, collection of satellite data and analysis for system mapping, and
work on cyber security.
* Initiated work on a new dynamic model of interdependent gas and power systems
of Europe and Ukraine to advance identification and mitigation of critical
vulnerabilities.
* Delivered emergency diesel fuel and other critical materials needed for safe
operation of Ukrainian nuclear power plants, as well as initiated the
purchase of three truck-mounted emergency diesel backup generators to be
delivered to improve plant safety in the event of the loss of offsite power.
U.S. Department of State
* Building on eight years of technical engagement, the State Department
continued to provide technical support to Naftogaz and UkrGasVydobuvannya to
advance corporate governance reform, increase domestic gas production,
provide strategic planning, and assess critical sub-surface and above-ground
technical issues that impact the company’s core business functions.
* The State Department is developing new programs focused on emissions
abatement, decarbonization, and diversification to support Ukraine’s
ambitious clean energy and climate goals and address the impacts of reduced
supplies of natural gas from Russia.
* The State Department led a decades-long U.S. government engagement to develop
and expand natural gas reverse flow (west-to-east) routes to enhance European
and Ukrainian energy security. Ukraine is now able to import natural gas from
Europe, eliminating the need for Ukraine to purchase natural gas from
Gazprom.
