Norway provided Ukraine with more than 100 million dollars for energy restoration

The allocated money will be used to install solar panels to provide backup power for Ukrainian schools and hospitals
Norway, through the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), will provide NOK 1.1 billion (about $105 million) to restore Ukraine's energy infrastructure, create backup capacity, and accelerate Ukraine's transition to a more diversified and sustainable energy balance. This was reported by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency on October 24 with reference to the communications department of the UNDP in Ukraine.
It is noted that the allocated money will be used to install solar panels to provide backup power to Ukrainian schools and hospitals, and a recent agreement will ensure the supply of an additional 80 MW of power to the national power grid this winter. Thanks to the UNDP Energy Recovery Program, more than a million people and industrial consumers will be provided with heat and water.
"The restoration of critical energy infrastructure is urgently needed, as people living in high-rise buildings in large cities have no alternative means of heating and water supply. The UNDP program on renewable energy, through which we provide support in the restoration of Ukraine's energy sector, is evidence of our commitment to promoting a "green" recovery and ensuring energy security for all Ukrainians," said the Permanent Representative of the UNDP in Ukraine Yako Silje.
By the way, on October 8, the Lithuanian energy company Ignitis Group allocated 4 million euros to strengthen the Ukrainian energy industry. The allocated money will be used to purchase equipment for one of the Ukrainian power plants, which will allow to create an additional 120 MW of generating capacity. This will provide electricity to approximately 420,000 consumers.
In addition, on October 2, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) announced the allocation of more than $1 billion for energy support and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
