Germany Donates Former Nord Stream-Linked Power Plant to Ukraine
Sefe will hand the 84-megawatt plant to a Ukrainian operator as aid after no buyer was found and operating it became unprofitable.
- Germany will transfer an 84-megawatt gas-fired power plant in Lubmin to Ukraine as humanitarian aid, according to Berlin-based Sefe Securing Energy for Europe GmbH.
- The plant originally provided process heat for Russian gas fed into the German pipeline network, but operations ceased in 2023 after Russia halted Baltic Sea gas deliveries in September 2022.
- Sefe stated the donation carries "no economic disadvantage" compared to dismantling costs, noting "the transaction contributes to maintaining Ukrainian energy infrastructure."
- Nikolaus Kramer, an AfD member of the Vorpommern-Greifswald district council, described the plan as "absurd," calling it "a slap in the face for our citizens."
- The transfer aligns with broader efforts to strengthen Ukraine's energy resilience, with officials planning to receive dozens of additional modular units after previous aid supplied electricity and heat to more than 86,000 residents.
