By leveraging loans of International Financing Institutions (IFIs), E5P grants enable the restoration of infrastructure damaged by the war and the modernization of infrastructure services such as district heating, public transport and the thermal rehabilitation of public buildings. Ukraine has one of the highest energy intensities of the world, hampering economic efficiency and mitigation of climate change. E5P interventions lead to the reduction of energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and pollution in Ukrainian municipalities.

Reduce the energy and carbon intensity of Ukraine as a result of increased energy efficiency, as well as the energy-efficient restoration of municipal infrastructure damaged by the war.

Energy savings and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
