From Idea to Financial Instrument<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ukraine has taken another step toward energy independence.
The State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine<\/a><\/strong>, together with Ukrgasbank<\/strong><\/a>, has launched a new program for interest rate compensation on loans for energy efficiency and decarbonization<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The program is implemented within the framework of the State Fund for Decarbonization and Energy Efficiency Transformation of Ukraine and provides compensation of up to 12% per annum, or up to 14% when using Ukrainian-made equipment.
Thus, investments in the modernization of enterprises, renewable energy, and energy services are becoming more accessible than ever before.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd17 How to join:<\/strong> applications can be submitted via the official website of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency<\/a><\/strong>
or at Ukrgasbank<\/strong><\/a> branches, which is the first partner bank of the program.<\/p>\n

First Results Already in Practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ukrgasbank<\/a><\/strong> has already issued the first loan for the construction of a 12 MW solar power plant, which will generate more than 9,900 MWh of clean electricity annually and reduce CO\u2082 emissions by 4,000 tons.
Two more projects with a total capacity of 25 MW are currently under implementation. After commissioning, they will generate over 22,000 MWh per year and reduce emissions by approximately 9,000 tons of CO\u2082.<\/p>\n

Participants in the program may include individual entrepreneurs (FOPs), businesses, as well as public and municipal enterprises implementing projects in the fields of energy efficiency, heat and water supply, renewables, or energy services.
The maximum loan amount ranges from \u20b45 to \u20b490 million, with a term of up to 10 years, and a base rate of up to 21% per annum (significantly lower after state compensation).<\/p>\n

Transparency and Effectiveness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Interest compensation is provided monthly, with funds transferred directly to the borrower through an authorized bank.
The main condition is targeted use of funds and verified results.<\/p>\n
