Home News Slovakia supports the recovery of Ukraine’s energy sector
On 22–23 April 2026, the EU–Ukraine Business Summit took place in Brussels, where the guarantee agreement for the Ukraine–Slovakia Energy Security and Grid Stability Investment Programme was officially signed.
This step represents an important milestone in supporting the recovery and stabilisation of Ukraine’s energy sector. The programme is part of the Ukraine Investment Framework (UIF) initiative and will mobilise investments of approximately EUR 101 million.
Its objective is to strengthen the resilience of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, stabilise the electricity grid, and support its integration into the European energy market.
The Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation (SAIDC) plays a key role in the programme through its grant component and oversight of the transparent and efficient use of funds.
It will ensure that the selection of project implementers is carried out in line with European Union rules and that investments deliver tangible and measurable impact.
The European Union will provide guarantees amounting to EUR 69.5 million, while EXIMBANKA SR will provide loan financing of up to EUR 77.2 million.
The event also included the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between EXIMBANKA SR and SAIDC, establishing a framework for close cooperation in the implementation of the programme.
The project confirms that Slovakia is a reliable partner in international development cooperation. It brings together the expertise of the public sector, financial institutions, and the private sector, while also creating new opportunities for Slovak companies to participate in the recovery of Ukraine. Strengthening Ukraine’s energy stability is also an investment in a safer and more resilient Europe.
