NOJA Power will provide specialist electrical equipment to restore Ukraine's energy system. The contract including local installations is valued at $10 million.
“These NOJA Power OSM Reclosers will be used to rebuild electricity networks and restore electricity to millions. They will enable remote control in areas heavily affected by land mines, reducing the risk for utility workers. Remote control over restored high voltage feeders will also enhance the safety of workers currently restoring electricity in Ukraine," NOJA Power CEO, Neil O'Sullivan, stated.
The Australian Government has funded the specialist equipment through a contribution to the European Union’s Ukraine Energy Support Fund. It was specified for procurement by the Ukrainian Government and its Minister for Energy, Herman Galushchenko.
“Russia has specifically targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure to put pressure on everyday Ukrainians. They have resiliently withstood this brutal tactic and this equipment from NOJA Power will further support their resilience. It is also testament to the wise investment of Minister Wong and the Australian Government in the EU’s program of support for Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and to the effort of Ukraine’s Minister for Energy Herman Galushchenko to specifically procure NOJA Power’s equipment," Ambassador of Ukraine to Australia, Vasyl Myroshnychenko, affirmed.
Myroshnychenko visited NOJA Power Switchgear in Brisbane Australia to witness the loading of the Australian-made equipment. It is likely to arrive in Ukraine in July 2025.
