Restoration of Darnytsia CHPP funded by Euro-Reconstruction – Kyiv authorities

The restoration of damaged or destroyed equipment at the Darnytsia combined heat and power plant (CHPP) in the capital is being financed by Euro-Reconstruction LLC without the involvement of budget funds, the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) reported.

"Some media outlets are spreading information about the restoration of the privately owned Darnytsia CHPP being financed from the city budget and about a lack of such funding. This is not true. All necessary work at the plant is being carried out at the expense of Euro-Reconstruction LLC," the statement quoted acting First Deputy Head of KCSA Petro Panteleev as saying.

According to him, restoration work at the CHPP is being carried out in coordination with the city, as it is part of the capital's energy resilience plan.

In addition, Panteleev said that measures under Kyiv's energy resilience plan are continuing in other key areas as well, including restoration, distributed cogeneration, and increasing backup power capacity. At the same time, detailed information is not being disclosed for security reasons.

As reported, in early February Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that at least two months would be needed to restore the Darnytsia CHPP, which had been damaged by a series of enemy shelling attacks and supplied heat to residential buildings in the Darnytsky and Dniprovsky districts.
