Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, which Department is coordinating the provision of generators and heating systems to Ukraine.
In March 2022, BEIS set-up a Ukraine Electricity Network Support Taskforce, involving distribution network operators and the Energy Networks Association. Through this Taskforce, BEIS has funded the procurement of more than 850 mobile generators for Ukraine, worth £6.1 million. This supports the UK’s overall humanitarian response, led by FCDO. BEIS regularly engages with Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy to discuss priority needs.
