☕ WHAT IS THE SOUND OF YOUR COFFEE? 🎵 ⚡ These days the generators are again humming in the streets of Kyiv and across Ukraine as a reminder of the electricity shortage due to the energy system recovering after ten massive attacks by the Russians. So here the generator is the sound of a cup of coffee at the local café. A small point of resilience keeping the lights on and allowing customers to charge their mobile devices📱. 💡 We expect longer outages in the coming difficult winter months so it is important to raise awareness on the need to use energy responsibly and help incentivise investments in energy efficient solutions. This was exactly the purpose of an expert delegation visit this week from the Danish Energy Agency that is helping the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine and the State Agency for Energy Efficiency of Ukraine (SAEE) on ways to help both public and private companies get support for energy efficient measures as well as campaign initiatives to engage the broader public. 🔌 A hybrid seminar with stakeholders from government institutions, municipalities and international partners was conducted in a shelter basement to promote voluntary agreements for Ukrainian companies that can receive attractive loan conditions for energy efficiency and small-scale renewable energy generation projects through the Decarbonization Fund. The sense of urgency was underscored when electricity was lost due to a faulty backup-generator. Fortunately, the organisers were quick to reconnect the equipment with an Ecoflow and online users while Head of SAEE Anna Zamazeeva engaged the audience with singing the National Anthem. Such an inspiring example of Ukrainian resilience and ingenuity 💪 . 🔦 Anything that can help reduce the pressure on the energy supply this winter helps! 🤝 The Embassy of Denmark in Ukraine is proud to liaise this important work through the Ukraine-Denmark Energy Partnership Programme.
