The platform brings together existing support programmes for businesses and households to help them ensure autonomous and backup power supply, develop their own generation capacity and install energy storage systems.

Today, we are highlighting the 5–7–9% Loans for Cogeneration programme. 

Terms and conditions: Loans of up to UAH 250 million for a period of up to 10 years at annual interest rates of 5%, 7% or 9%, depending on the size of the business. The programme is available to individual entrepreneurs and micro, small and medium-sized businesses.

Eligible uses of funds: The purchase of cogeneration units, gas turbines, gas engine units, biogas and other generating units, solar power systems, energy storage systems, heat pumps and inverters.

How it works: Under the affordable lending programme “5–7–9%”, the state, through the National Development Institution, compensates banks for the difference between the commercial interest rate and the rate charged to programme participants. Loan funds are transferred directly to the accounts of suppliers of energy equipment and installation services.

How to apply: Applications can be submitted through one of the banks participating in the “5–7–9%” affordable lending programme. There are currently 48 participating banks. The full list is available here.
