Kyiv has installed nearly 16 MW of planned 40 MW in backup power capacity

In Kyiv, as part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Energy Resilience Plan, backup power systems with a capacity of about 16 MW have already been built out of the planned nearly 40 MW.

According to Ukrinform, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko announced this on Telegram.

The capital continues to prepare for the new heating season and implement projects under the city’s Comprehensive Energy Resilience Plan, Klitschko noted.

According to him, “in particular, backup power systems with a capacity of nearly 16 MW have already been built, which will serve the needs of the capital’s water supply system.”

Klitschko inspected these three diesel power plants, each with a capacity of 5.2 MW. He noted that the diesel generator sets are immediately equipped with frequency converters to ensure a higher level of reliability and trouble-free operation.
