Jena, March 10, 2026. Thanks to the enormous willingness of the Jena population to donate, two urgently needed power generators have arrived in the Ukrainian twin city of Brovary. The devices are intended to secure the local critical infrastructure and ensure the supply of heat and water for thousands of residents.
- Event: Arrival of two power generators to secure public services
- Destination: Brovary, Ukrainian twin city of Jena
- Donation Status: 24,156 Euros (since mid-February)
- Participants: Stadtverwaltung and Feuerwehr Jena
New Equipment and Proven Technology
Since mid-February, the city of Jena had called for donations for Brovary. The response was remarkable: within a few weeks, exactly 24,156 Euros were raised. With these funds, a powerful diesel power generator (100 kVA) was purchased. To lose no time, the commissioned dealer from the North Rhine-Westphalian town of Kempen delivered the device directly to Ukraine.
In addition to the new purchase, the Jena Feuerwehr made another important contribution to emergency supplies. After technical coordination with the Ukrainian firefighters, it was decided to provide a robust generator from DDR stocks of the Jena station. This proven model now complements the technical assistance in the crisis-ridden region.
Vital Energy in Times of Crisis
The two power units are urgently needed in Brovary to keep so-called public service facilities on the grid even during large-scale power outages. Due to ongoing and targeted attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the local lines and power plants are heavily damaged. Without the use of such emergency power generators, the failure of heat and water supplies is imminent, which can have life-threatening consequences for the civilian population, especially in the cold months.
The Ukrainian city of Brovary is located in the Oblast Kiew and is an official partner city of Jena. Since the beginning of the war of aggression, Jena has already organized several aid shipments. In addition to providing medical supplies, technology, and financial donations, the regular exchange of expertise between the authorities – such as the two fire departments here – is at the center of municipal solidarity.
