Norway to allocate over US$45m to boost Ukraine's energy resilience before winter

Norway and the European Union have signed an agreement worth more than NOK 400 million to help secure Ukraine's energy system before winter.

As reported by NRK, a Norwegian state-owned public broadcaster, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide said Norway is allocating NOK 425 million (about US$45.8 million) for the development of renewable energy sources, battery storage systems and decentralised energy systems to make Ukraine's power grid less vulnerable.

The funds will be channelled through the EU to help Ukraine modernise its infrastructure.

"Ukraine must get through another winter while building an energy system that is less vulnerable to new attacks," Eide said.

In late 2025, Norway's government said that Norway's total financial support for Ukraine will have exceeded €19.4 billion by the end of 2026.

In late March, it was reported that Ukrainian and Norwegian companies will receive NOK 93 million, or €8 million, in support from the Norwegian government for pilot projects in renewable energy and medicine supplies.
