A state program has been launched in Ukraine to assist residents of high-rise buildings in purchasing autonomous energy sources.
Residents of high-rise buildings can receive from 100 to 300 thousand hryvnias for the purchase of autonomous sources of electricity.
Starting February 1, co-owners of apartment buildings have the opportunity to apply for money from the state to purchase generators, inverters, batteries, and solar panels. The funds are promised to be transferred promptly - within 5 days.
How much money does the state give?
The amount of assistance depends on the size and number of floors of the house:
• 100 thousand UAH – for buildings up to 6 floors;
• 200 thousand UAH – for buildings up to 16 floors;
• 300 thousand UAH – for buildings with 17 floors or more or those with more than three entrances.
With these funds, you can buy not only generators, but also inverters, batteries, solar panels, and their control units.
How to apply: step-by-step instructions
The Ministry of Development explains: priority will be given to those who already have an equipment bill that needs to be paid.
1. Who submits: condominium associations, management companies or service cooperatives.
2. Where: through the "Diya" portal or the official website of the "SvitloDIM" program.

The program has already started in Kyiv and the region. Frontline regions will be next. The first 800 million hryvnias have already been reserved in the budget, and the first 500 applications have been registered.
