Lithuania will allocate 4 million euros to strengthen Ukraine’s energy resilience and restore social infrastructure. The decision was announced after Ukraine and Lithuania signed a joint declaration on energy cooperation at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Gdansk.
The funding will support solar panels and battery storage systems at social infrastructure facilities, including schools and hospitals. Ukrainian officials say previously transferred Lithuanian equipment is already being used under the Ray of Hope project, helping six medical facilities generate their own electricity, while another site is being prepared technically.
From emergency repairs to local generation
The cooperation also covers urgent support for Ukraine’s energy sector. Lithuania and Ukraine continue work on deliveries of critical equipment, including transformers, generators and spare parts for repairing energy infrastructure. Some dismantled equipment from Vilnius thermal power plant and Ignalina nuclear power plant is already being used in Ukraine.
The practical focus is local resilience. Solar generation and storage at hospitals and schools can keep essential services running when central infrastructure is under pressure.
For Ukraine, distributed energy projects are becoming part of reconstruction, emergency preparedness and regional security at the same time.
