NORWAY – Bergen Engines, a leading manufacturer of medium-speed engines and generator sets, is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE). This MOU represents a key step in Ukraine’s efforts to rebuild its energy infrastructure in anticipation of the upcoming winter.

An MOU is a formal agreement between the two parties which outlines their commitment to work together toward common objective. In this case, the MOU between SAEE and Bergen Engines sets the foundation for the delivery of medium-speed gensets to Ukraine. These generators are vital for producing electricity to heat homes and power essential services across the country.

The agreement was signed with Anna Zamazeeva, Head of the SAEE, who commented, “I am confident that in the near future, high-tech Bergen installations will undoubtedly appear in Ukraine, and the company’s advanced technological solutions will be implemented. This will significantly help us build a distributed generation system that is less vulnerable to enemy missile attacks and, as a result, will make our communities and country more energy-independent and our critical infrastructure more resilient.”

Why This MOU is Important:

As Ukraine faces severe energy challenges, the need for reliable electricity supply has never been more urgent. The country’s power infrastructure has been significantly damaged, and with winter fast approaching, the risk of power outages that could leave millions without heat and electricity is a pressing concern. The MOU with Bergen Engines is an important step toward securing the energy resources needed to support the Ukrainian people.

The company’s medium-speed gensets are highly efficient, reliable, and capable of operating under challenging conditions. These engines are ideal for both emergency power generation and providing a stable, long-term solution to meet the country’s energy demands.

Bergen Engines meets with SAEE of Ukraine

Under the terms of the MOU, Bergen Engines will work closely with SAEE to deliver and install complete gensets, providing critical power generation capacity to help stabilize the national grid. This partnership will not only address the immediate need for power but also contribute to Ukraine’s long-term energy resilience and sustainability.
