The first of four gas piston stations, which are planned to be installed in Odesa with financial assistance from the governments of Japan, Norway and Sweden with the support of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Ukraine, has been handed over to the city, the Ministry of Energy reported.
According to its website, the installation of all four stations can provide 45% of the energy needs of Odesa's critical infrastructure.
As noted by UNDP Resident Representative in Ukraine Jaco Cilliers, the location of these cogeneration units directly where energy is needed allows for a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 40% for each unit.
"This initiative is an important step towards decentralization and strengthening of the energy infrastructure of Odesa. Through the Green Energy Recovery Program, UNDP will continue to work with partners to restore and improve basic services in Odesa, strengthening resilience and promoting sustainable energy solutions," the official emphasized.
