## Key Points

- 15 veteran enterprises will receive electricity compensation of up to 25,000 kWh over six months
- Each enterprise will save about 250,000 hryvnias
- The second season has been expanded: family members of veterans running businesses can participate
- No business plan or reporting is required; winners are determined randomly

D.Solutions, operating under the YASNO brand, has announced the launch of application submissions for the second season of the "Light for Veteran Business" grant program. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the company's official announcement. The initiative aims to reduce the operational expenses of small enterprises founded by veterans of the Russian-Ukrainian war and their family members, and this year has significantly expanded its pool of participants.

### Grant Conditions: 25,000 kWh for Six Months

As part of the second season of the program, 15 winners will receive compensation for electricity expenses in the volume of up to 25,000 kilowatt-hours over six months. According to the company's calculations, this will allow each enterprise to save about 250,000 hryvnias. The payment mechanism is structured so that winners continue to pay their electricity bills normally, and D.Solutions monthly compensates for these expenses within the volume provided by the grant. Thus, the entrepreneur does not need to wait for funds to be transferred to pay the supplier — the compensation arrives retrospectively.

### Expanding the Pool of Participants: Now Including Family Members

A key change in the second season is the expansion of the target audience. While the first season was addressed exclusively to male and female veterans, family members who are developing their own businesses can now also participate. D.Solutions explains this by noting that family businesses are often developed through joint efforts, and restricting eligibility to only one status would be unfair. Company CEO Serhiy Kovalenko emphasized: "Veteran business today is an important part of the country's economy. After the first season, we made sure that our support is needed, so we are continuing the program this year as well. We have also expanded the pool of participants, because family businesses are often developed through joint efforts."

### Simplified Application Procedure

One of the program's competitive advantages is its minimal bureaucratic barrier. Participation does not require preparing a business plan, financial model, or submitting reports on the use of the grant after receiving it. It is enough to fill out an application on the website and provide the necessary documents confirming the status of a veteran or a veteran's family member, as well as the fact of conducting entrepreneurial activity. Winners are determined randomly — this eliminates subjectivity in selection and makes the process transparent for all applicants.

### Context: Why Supporting Veteran Business Is Relevant

The veteran sector of Ukraine's economy continues to grow amid large-scale mobilization and the return of fighters to civilian life. According to various industry associations, the number of enterprises founded or managed by veterans has multiplied over the past few years. At the same time, small businesses, especially in the services, catering, and manufacturing sectors, remain sensitive to rising energy tariffs. The YASNO grant program, according to its organizers, does not solve the problem of energy independence on a macro scale, but creates a targeted financial buffer, allowing entrepreneurs to redirect freed-up funds into business development, marketing, or hiring staff. As Kovalenko noted, the goal of the program remains unchanged: "to help male and female veterans and their families spend less on electricity and direct more toward business development."

### How to Apply

Applications for the second season of the "Light for Veteran Business" program are now open. Documents can be submitted through the official channel of the D.Solutions / YASNO company. The list of 15 winners will be formed based on a random draw among all submitted applications that meet the participation criteria. The company will announce the summing-up date and the procedure for notifying winners additionally.
