Siemens Energy considers supplying 12 gas turbine units to Ukraine
Ukraine and Germany signed a series of energy sector agreements valued at over €155 million following the Ukrainian-German Business Forum. The documents were executed in the presence of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Federal Chancellor of Germany Friedrich Merz. The agreements focus on restoring and safeguarding Ukraine's energy grid. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Ukrenergo.
Under the agreements, the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine has established cooperation with Siemens Energy. The parties are collaborating to restore, modernize, and enhance the resilience of the Ukrainian power system. Specifically, they are examining the option of utilizing 12 Siemens Energy gas turbine units for distributed generation needs.
Equipment and Grid Cooperation
National Power Company Ukrenergo has agreed on partnership with two German power grid operators, 50Hertz and Amprion. This joint effort is aimed at accelerating the delivery of critical electrical equipment to Ukraine. Leveraging the capabilities of German partners, the companies plan to identify available manufacturing capacity and coordinate actions to secure the earliest production slots for transformers, cables, and switchgear from global vendors.
