“We will fund up to 30 million LED bulbs for Ukraine, for precious energy savings. When 50 million of these bulbs are deployed with our partners, this will save 1 GW – the annual output of a nuclear plant! In times of darkness, we stand with our Ukrainian friends,” wrote the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the international conference “Solidarity with the Ukrainian People” in Paris on December 13, 2022, that the practical result of the event could be an agreement on the financing of a project to purchase LED bulbs for Ukraine.
“It may not seem so significant to someone, but 50 million LED bulbs will make it possible to save about 1 GW of electricity. Considering that the average deficit of the Ukrainian energy system is about 2.5 GW, this project could help significantly,” emphasized the President of Ukraine.
