Ukrainian banks began financing projects to restore and develop energy infrastructure totaling 73 billion UAH. Of that amount, 67,1 billion UAH is allocated to business, and another 5,9 billion UAH to households. The loan funds are directed toward building new generation capacities, energy storage systems, and modernization of heating equipment.
As written by Dilo, this is reported by the NBU press service.
Ukrainian banks financed projects for businesses and the public in the energy sector totaling 73 billion UAH. Lending is taking place within the framework of the memorandum on the restoration of energy infrastructure damaged as a result of massive Russian attacks.
According to a survey of the largest banks participating in the memorandum, as of 26 October 2026 year financing of business projects for power generation restoration provided capacity additions totaling 2,176 GW.
The largest amount of loan funds was directed to the development of solar energy, gas generation, hydro-, bio-, and wind energy installations, as well as the purchase of generators.
A separate area of financing became the implementation of energy storage systems. Banks finance the creation of the corresponding infrastructure, purchase of inverters and batteries, as well as modernization of heating equipment. The total capacity of projects in these areas is 1,05 GW.
According to the NBU, the gross portfolio of energy loans, including repayments, as of 26 October stood at 44,1 billion UAH for businesses and 4,4 billion UAH for households. Projects under the program are being implemented in 22 regions of Ukraine.
Head of the National Bank Andriy Pyshnyy emphasized that the regulator continues to adapt requirements to expand access to lending for enterprises.
According to him, since the beginning of August the NBU has approved four packages of measures, including in October—decisions aimed at supporting lending to enterprises in the energy sector and critical infrastructure.
The National Bank expects that these regulatory steps will promote further financing of energy restoration projects.
Reference
The development of energy financing is a focus of the Credit Development Strategy. Successful completion of about 60% of the measures envisaged in it has contributed not only to the beginning of the longest credit expansion period in more than fifteen years but also to expanding access to loans for critical energy and defense-industrial complex sectors, and for business in regions of resilience.
Within the framework of this strategy, the National Bank weighs regulatory decisions regarding their impact on the credit potential of the banking system, and has also introduced a number of steps to stimulate lending to priority sectors.
In particular, to stimulate financing of the energy sector, the requirements for assessing bank credit risks have been revised and the coefficients for considering the value of energy equipment when accepting it as collateral for corresponding loans have been increased.
