A generator at the front is not just a source...
A generator at the front is not just a source of electricity. It is an opportunity for the military to stay connected, charge equipment and keep technology operating where there is no stable power grid. For a civilian, a generator is often associated with backup power for a home or business. At the front, its role is much broader: electricity is needed for communications, computer equipment, charging stations, batteries and other equipment.
That is why generators are regularly included in requests from the units that People’s Project works with.
Most combat positions and field points do not have access to the regular power grid. At the same time, a modern military unit uses a large amount of electronic equipment.
A generator can provide power for:
In previous People’s Project initiatives, generators were delivered, in particular, to units operating in field conditions in the Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kherson directions.
Today, unmanned aerial vehicles are an important part of the work of many units. Behind every drone is not only the aircraft itself, but an entire support system: batteries, chargers, tablets or laptops, communication equipment and other equipment.
A position where UAV operators work needs electricity constantly. A generator allows such a position to operate autonomously even far from civilian infrastructure.
That is why a significant share of the generators delivered by People’s Project were sent to positions where unmanned systems pilots operate. For example, in the foundation’s June report, the recipients included the 79th Air Assault Brigade, the 40th Marine Brigade, the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade, Kraken, Azov and other units; most of the generators delivered were used specifically at UAV pilot positions and in units responsible for countering air threats.
In field conditions, the absence of an autonomous power source means constantly having to find another way to charge equipment. This may be an additional battery, a charging station or another power source. But any such resource has limited capacity.
A generator effectively makes it possible to replenish the supply of electricity where there is no power outlet. For example, a generator can be used to charge battery stations, which then power the equipment at the position.
This does not necessarily mean that all equipment is connected directly to the generator. In practice, a generator is often part of the entire autonomous power system.
The military needs generators throughout the year. But with the arrival of the cold season, the demand on autonomous power systems increases.
That is why People’s Project traditionally launches separate fundraisers for generators during the autumn and winter period. In the foundation’s winter project, generators are identified as one of the priority needs for drone pilot positions, infantry positions, electronic warfare deployment sites and other field locations.
The price depends on the power output, type of generator, manufacturer and specific model.
Based on People’s Project’s actual purchases in 2026, generators with a power output of around 2.8–3.5 kW were purchased for approximately UAH 11,000–20,000 per unit. For example:
In June, the foundation also purchased EnerSol inverter generators with a power output of up to 3.3 kW for approximately UAH 11,199 per unit. At the same time, larger generators cost significantly more. For example, in People’s Project’s April report, a Comer gasoline generator with a power output of up to 7 kW cost UAH 23,500.
That is why, during a fundraiser, it is important to talk not simply about a “generator,” but about the specific power output and the unit’s requirements.
Because this is equipment that has practical everyday use. A generator is not a disposable resource. With proper use and maintenance, it can provide autonomous power to a unit for a long time.
For a pilot position, this can mean the ability to charge batteries and keep essential electronics operating. For a field headquarters, it means maintaining communications and computer equipment. For other positions, it means ensuring the operation of essential equipment and lighting.
One generator means dozens of hours of autonomy, which translate into the ability to continue working where there is no power grid.
People’s Project is currently continuing its fundraiser for generators for UAV pilot positions and other field locations. We receive requests from military units and try to fulfill them as quickly as possible.
Every contribution helps purchase equipment that will operate directly at the front. Even a small donation as part of a larger fundraiser turns into real equipment for the military.

Thank you to everyone who supports our defenders. 💛💙 Together, we help the military remain autonomous, maintain communications and carry out their work.
Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
