In order to ensure the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure facilities in Kyiv, work is underway to create energy islands on the territory of the city.
This was the response provided by the Kyiv City State Administration to the official request of “Pryamoy”.
In particular, Kyivteploenergo has identified 8 facilities to begin implementing the Concept of Restoration and Increasing Energy Sustainability.
The first stage is designing 15 cogeneration (gas piston) units at 6 sites. The second stage is planning to install 4 gas piston units with a capacity of 3.35 MW each.
Currently, the city has already received cogeneration equipment – two gas turbine plants with an electrical capacity of 54 MW each.
In addition, additional solar power plants (SPPs) are being installed in the city’s housing stock. As part of the competition for projects to implement energy-efficient measures in residential buildings, it is planned to install 34 SPPs in 2025.
As a reminder, the director of the energy company Yasno, Serhiy Kovalenko, reported that this fall, Ukrainians can expect new power outages due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
