This initiative aims to enhance electricity and heat supply for residents in one of Ukraine's regions.
Agreement Details
An agreement has been concluded with grant funds from the Norwegian government and organizational support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A manufacturing company will supply power-generating equipment that will add 80 MW to the Ukrainian power grid.
"This will help ensure additional generation of electricity and heat for the residents of one of the regions," the statement reads.
Background
