Ukrenergo will use the loan to purchase 26 new transformers and carry out the automation works.  It will also upgrade 12 high-voltage substations in key locations of the Ukrainian transmission network.

EBRD loan is also expected to help in offsetting the annual reduction of carbon emissions by 20,500t. The company will also be able to enhance the renewables share in the Ukrainian grid by increasing the capacity of wind and solar power.

Furthermore, Ukrenergo will promote commercialisation and institutional development by implementing a corporate governance action plan and procurement standards.

In another development, EBRD and its partners have agreed to provide financial assistance of $35m to a solar energy project in Jordan.
