Ares(2022)7375349 - 24/10/2022 KADRI SIMSON JANEZ LENARČIČ MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION ENERGY CRISIS MANAGEMENT Brussels, 24 October 2022 Dear Minister, As Russia further escalates its brutal attacks against Ukraine, deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure and residential buildings, the Ukrainian authorities have declared that as of now 30% of the energy network has been damaged. Cutting off the population from basic needs such as water, electricity and heating makes the situation of civilians ever more dire. The desperation felt by the people suffering from Russia’s attacks must be countered with united and unwavering European solidarity and support. The level of European support to Ukraine has already been impressive, but with Russia intensifying its violent attacks on energy infrastructure we call on all of you to provide further assistance in a coordinated Team Europe effort. With the recent onset of the indiscriminate missile and drone attacks across the country, the Government of Ukraine quickly reached out to the European Union on 11 and 18 October with the urgent need for supplies such as power generators, heating equipment and fuel (a consolidated list of needs is attached to this letter). The European Commission appeals to the Member States to respond, notably via the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) which provides a framework for the channelling of offers and provides both operational and financial support to Member States. We would further encourage national authorities to explore the possibility of outreach to the private sector. Public-private cooperation has already been used to provide support to Ukraine. These offers are coordinated by the Energy Community and the Commission’s Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) through the UCPM. The cooperation between the Energy Community Secretariat in Vienna and the UCPM is a notable example how different sectors working together can make valuable difference, with 27 shipments already delivered and an additional 20 in preparation through this system, with an estimated value of over EUR 10 million. Nevertheless, the needs are significant. Following the latest shelling, Ukraine in particular needs autotransformers, voltage transformers, current transformers and power transformers. Expensive equipment without which millions of people in Ukraine may be subject to blackouts this winter. We invite your Ministry to contact your civil protection authorities, who are familiar with the delivery of assistance. Your civil protection authorities can communicate concrete offers of supplies via the UCPM using the existing secure communication system CECIS. The ERCC will then coordinate with the Ukrainian emergency management EU Ministers for Energy EU Ministers Responsible for Civil Protection  authorities for the acceptance and delivery. The UCPM already has three well-established logistics hubs in Poland, Romania and Slovakia to support the smooth delivery of donated aid and can finance transport costs up to 100%. We would also invite you to consider donations to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund set up by the Energy Community at the request of Commissioner Simson. Commissioner Lenarčič in this week’s visit to Ukraine witnessed personally how the aid sent by Europe is providing some much-needed relief to the people affected and once again firmly underlined the commitment of the European Union to Ukraine and its people. All Member States have already responded generously and swiftly to help the Ukrainian people. We would be grateful for your kind attention to these latest, most critical needs. For any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the ERCC via ECHO- [email protected].
