Chernivtsi region reimburses businesses 30% of the cost of generators, batteries and solar panels: up to UAH 100,000 for companies and UAH 50,000 for sole proprietors, apply by 27 November

The Chernivtsi Regional State (Military) Administration has launched a financial support round to compensate local businesses for power generation and storage equipment. This reimbursement initiative is implemented within the framework of the regional programme for small and medium-sized enterprise development for the 2025-2027 period.

Under the scheme, regional authorities reimburse 30% of the acquisition cost of qualifying energy equipment. Funding caps are set at up to UAH 100,000 for legal entities and up to UAH 50,000 for individual entrepreneurs (sole proprietors).

Eligible business owners operating within the Chernivtsi region must prepare their claims and submit applications before the deadline on 27 November 2026.

What is funded

The grant mechanism compensates 30% of the expenses incurred for procuring alternative energy and backup power systems. The reimbursement covers newly purchased equipment bought on or after 10 October 2022 to strengthen business continuity during energy disruptions.

Eligible hardware includes electricity generators, energy storage batteries, portable charging stations, solar panels, wind turbines, and heat pumps. The financial ceiling provides a refund of up to UAH 100,000 for registered legal entities and up to UAH 50,000 for sole proprietors.

Who can apply

The call is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and individual entrepreneurs registered as taxpayers in Chernivtsi oblast. Applicants must carry out active commercial operations within the territory of the region.

Participation is restricted to entities that have no outstanding tax debts or overdue obligations before state and local budgets. Applicants must comply with established regional criteria regarding business transparency and operational compliance.

Conditions and requirements

All claimed hardware must have been purchased strictly on or after 10 October 2022, and items must be new and operational. The regional administration requires proof of payment and clear evidence of equipment integration into business facilities.

Practical tip. Ensure that your purchase documents, invoices, and payment receipts clearly state the equipment serial numbers and specifications, and confirm that your tax account shows zero liabilities before filing the reimbursement request.

How to apply

Applicants must submit their reimbursement application along with official supporting documentation confirming tax registration, operational status in the region, and equipment purchase details. Submissions must be directed to the responsible regional authority before the stated cutoff.

The final deadline for submitting documents under this initiative is 27 November 2026. The donor does not specify the precise evaluation timelines, so applicants are advised to submit complete files well in advance of the deadline.
