The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is considering lending EUR 175 million to the National Energy Company of Ukraine, Ukrenergo, for implementing the South Ukraine Transmission Project. An equal amount of financing was approved by the EIB in October 2009. The project foresees construction of a new 750 kV power transmission line, two 330kV double circuit diversions, and modernisation of an existing 330/220/110 kV substation.
