In the future, the Fund plans to strengthen the "green" component of programs for the implementation of RES systems

According to the results of its work at the end of 2025, the Energy Efficiency Fund paid out UAH 4.2 billion in grants for the implementation of energy modernization and housing renovation projects for Ukrainians. More than 540,000 people participated in the projects.

This is evidenced by data from the Energy Efficiency Fund's report.

Under the Energodim program, work was carried out on more than 600 houses, reducing energy consumption by an average of 50%. More than 160 green projects have already been implemented under the GreenDIM pilot program, and more than 900 under the VidnoviDIM program.

Updating program conditions

Under the Energodim program, the maximum grant amount has increased to UAH 5 million for package A and UAH 15 million for package B.

Under the VidnoviDim program, the grant amount has increased to UAH 10 million. In 2025, an energy efficiency component was added to the list of works.

This year, the Fund launched the GreenDIM pilot program. The results confirmed that the implementation of renewable energy sources in apartment buildings is feasible and should be scaled up.

Funding volumes

After the update of its grant policy in June, the Fund received additional funding from the EU in the amount of €13 million. This allowed the resumption of applications for the “VidnovyDIM” program.

In November, the Cabinet of Ministers increased the statutory capital of the Fund by UAH 240 million. According to EcoPolitica, these funds were to help implement over 300 projects for energy modernization and housing restoration. In the 2026 budget, UAH 630 million is earmarked for the Energy Efficiency Fund’s activities, with an additional €18 million from donors.

Plans for the Future

The Fund plans to continue working on energy modernization and housing restoration, and is also setting two new priorities:

  • Energy efficient restoration for buildings without homeowners’ associations (OSBB). The Fund plans to create a new program that will make energy modernization accessible for multi-apartment buildings that currently do not qualify for existing programs.
  • Strengthening the “green” component in the “Energodim” program. This includes, among other things, the installation of solar power plants.

“The successful GreenDIM pilot has proven the effectiveness of renewables: buildings reduce costs, enhance energy security, and maintain functionality during blackouts,” the Fund notes.

Earlier, EcoPolitic reported how a homeowners’ association in Lviv became almost independent from external energy supply thanks to energy modernization and the installation of a solar power plant.

Additionally, the Decarbonization Fund also reported on its work. Funding was provided to 72 projects totaling over UAH 1.5 billion.
