To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many step-up and step-down transformers and related equipment have been (a) provided to assist the resilience and repair of Ukrainian energy grids to date and (b) ordered to be supplied in the future.

The UK is responding to urgent Ukraine requests to help repair damage to energy infrastructure caused by Russian bombardment. We have committed £10 million to the Energy Community Ukraine Support Fund to procure high-priority specialised energy equipment to help Ukraine with critical repairs.

The UK is engaging closely with G7 and other international partners to respond to a range of request from Ukraine that include transformers.
