Government Loan Program for Generators in 2026
- State program now includes generators for energy independence
- Borrowers can receive up to 30% equipment cost compensation
- Generators provide a cost-effective alternative to solar panels
In 2026, the government expanded its program for energy independence for private homeowners, now allowing loans not only for solar panels but also for generators. These generators can receive an additional compensation of up to 30% of their cost. Dmitry Zamotaev, Director of Retail Banking at Globus Bank, explained the reasons behind the program's increased attractiveness at this time.
Key Changes and Their Importance
As of March 2026, the inclusion of generators (diesel, gasoline, gas, and dual-fuel) in the state program marks a significant shift. This offers a more affordable alternative for many households compared to solar systems and is technically simpler to implement.
For most private homeowners, this difference is considerable. A complete solar station with batteries can cost hundreds of thousands of hryvnias, while a quality generator costs significantly less. Now, homeowners can also access subsidized loans for generators with partial state compensation.
