Applications for the “Energy Support for Sole Proprietors” program are now open in Diia. Entrepreneurs can receive up to UAH 15,000 to increase the energy independence of their businesses.
The program aims to help Ukrainian entrepreneurs get through an extremely difficult winter period, preserve jobs, and ensure uninterrupted operation of services and production in communities amid constant shelling by the Russian Federation and emergency power outages.
The project is implemented by the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, and the State Employment Service.
This is non-repayable financial assistance ranging from UAH 7,500 to UAH 15,000 for business energy independence. The amount depends on the number of hired employees.
