Veterans and their family members running businesses in Irpin can claim up to UAH 80,000 from the city budget as compensation for energy equipment they have purchased. The payment is available once per budget year.

This was announced by Irpin City Council; the details are set out by Informator Bucha.

The programme covers generators, uninterruptible power supplies, portable charging stations, inverters, solar panels, solar power station kits, batteries and other equipment. The key condition is that the equipment must have been bought after 24 February 2022.

The aim is straightforward: to keep veteran businesses running during power cuts. For a small workshop, café or hairdresser's, a few hours without electricity means a lost working day — and in winter, spoiled produce or frozen pipes.

Applications with supporting documents are submitted to the executive committee of Irpin City Council, office 22. The economics department provides advice on (04597) 6-24-61.

As of the date of publication, four veteran businesses had already received compensation totalling UAH 181,400. The 2026 budget allocates a further UAH 160,000 to the programme.
