Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers has expanded a state support program for household energy resilience to cover the purchase and installation of autonomous and backup heating systems, the Ministry of Economy and Environment said on Friday.
Prime Minister Serhiy Koretskyi said the program had been expanded for people planning to install autonomous heating in their homes, and urged citizens to make use of the state support.
The government expanded the program because of risks from Russian attacks on energy infrastructure, which can cause prolonged disruptions to electricity, gas and heating supplies. The new terms are meant to help households heat their homes in winter and protect indoor building networks from freezing.
How the loans work
Financing will be provided by the National Development Institution. Two support packages are available.
- Package H covers the purchase of a solid fuel stove or fireplace stove, a chimney and installation. The loan ranges from 10,000 to 250,000 hryvnias, with the state covering 10% of the principal debt.
- Package H+ additionally covers ventilation, fire safety and thermal insulation elements. The maximum loan rises to 480,000 hryvnias, with compensation of up to 20% of the principal debt.
Borrowers will also get a preferential interest rate of 0% in the first year, 5% in the second and 7% in the third.
The support applies to owners of private homes up to 300 square meters, with one loan per house. Borrowers must confirm installation of the equipment within 180 days of receiving funds and then report to the bank on its status every six months.
Program history
The household energy support program has run since July 2024. As of July 24, 2026, six banks had signed 7,486 loan agreements for backup and autonomous power supply worth a combined roughly 2.64 billion hryvnias, which the ministry said enabled installation of equipment with a total capacity of about 64.65 megawatts.
The expanded program's estimated funding for 2026 is about 801.5 million hryvnias, drawn from the National Development Institution's resources and requiring no additional state budget spending.
In June 2024, the Cabinet launched preferential loans for households to buy solar panels and wind installations with capacity from 1 kW to 10 kW. The support mechanism for home solar installations was changed in November 2025.
