Netherlands allocates EUR 35M for solar panels for Ukrainian hospitals
The Ukrainian Energy Ministry said this in a press release seen by Ukrinform.
"The Netherlands has announced an additional contribution of EUR 35 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, increasing the total volume of support provided through the Fund to EUR 100 million. The new EUR 35 million contribution from our Dutch partners will be directed toward installing solar power systems on the rooftops of buildings under the 'Ray of Hope' initiative," the statement said.
The ministry recalled that the goal of the "Ray of Hope" project is to provide power supply to critical infrastructure facilities, primarily hospitals, even in the event of emergency shutdowns of centralized electricity supply following Russian attacks.
As of February 10, the Ukraine Energy Support Fund has accumulated EUR 1.8 billion in contributions. However, due to continued Russian attacks, the needs of Ukraine's energy sector for support continue to grow.
