“It's very difficult to get to the top of Maslov's hierarchy if the bottom parts are not secured.”

— says Mychailo Wynnytskyi, Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Education (HE)

The energy infrastructure of Ukraine suffers from regular targeted missile and drone attacks, which leads to power outages and critically affects the educational process. The lack of stable electricity makes it difficult to conduct classes and poses a health risk to students and university staff, especially during the cold autumn and winter months.

Within the framework of the Twinning initiative, Cormack Consultancy Group has launched a fundraising campaign ‘Generators4Ukraine’ at the request of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The campaign aims to support the infrastructure of Ukrainian universities during power outages by providing them with generators and energy solutions.

Rationale

Combined Heat and Power Plant No 5 in Kharkiv after sustaining severe damage from russian attacks, leading to serious power supply disruptions

Generators delivered

  • Generator donated to Kyiv National University of Technology and Design by Sheffield Hallam University

  • Zaporizhzhia National University received a generator donated by Durham University

  • Queen Margaret University's generator donation to Poltava V.G. Korolenko National Pedagogical University

  • Generator donated to Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University by the University of Bath

  • Stepan Demianchuk International University of Economics and Humanities received a generator donated by Bath Spa University

  • Delivery of a generator to Petro Mohyla Black Sea National University

  • Modern equipment for uninterrupted power supply donated to Uzhhorod National University by the University of Central Lancashire

  • National University of Ostroh Academy installs two solar stations for uninterrupted power supply, donated by the University of St Andrews

  • Kherson State University received a generator donated by the University of Kent

Thanks to the contributions from British universities and private companies, a total of 9 Ukrainian universities have already been provided with energy solutions, but the campaign continues to cover the needs of more educational institutions.

We are specifically seeking diesel generators in the 60–80 kW range, suitable for outdoor use and equipped with three-phase connections. The request also includes installation furniture, professional installation services, and a warranty period of 1–2 years.

Reliable power sources are crucial for Ukrainian universities to continue their mission. Generators ensure that students can keep learning, research can progress uninterrupted, and essential campus services remain functional—even during prolonged outages. They provide not just electricity, but also continuity, resilience, and a sense of normalcy in a time of uncertainty.
