Quote: "This equipment is already being sent to frontline regions and cities to support the operation of heating networks, water utilities, hospitals and social infrastructure facilities. The generators, with capacities ranging from mobile to industrial, can operate as a primary or backup power source for critical facilities."

Details: Kuleba said this delivery is part of a broader winter support programme. In total, UNICEF plans to provide Ukraine with 255 generators with a combined capacity of around 40.6 MW and a total value of nearly US$6.2 million.

He added that two cogeneration units with capacities of 1.5 MW and 2.3 MW have been delivered from Kryvyi Rih to Kyiv to support critical infrastructure facilities.

Background:

In late January, Poland delivered 379 generators of various capacities to Ukraine.
The city of Chernihiv has also received 26 generators of various capacities thanks to donations from the people of Slovakia.
