French technology company Schneider Electric has joined a large infrastructure project to modernize district heating systems in 26 Ukrainian cities. The company says the project provided modern equipment intended to improve energy efficiency, reliability and operational flexibility for municipal heat suppliers before the 2025-2026 heating season.
The deliveries covered cities in Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, Rivne, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Zhytomyr, Odesa, Kirovohrad, Kherson, Sumy, Poltava and Kyiv regions. The core of the project was the supply of control cabinets for pumps and blower mechanisms equipped with modern frequency converters.
Why frequency converters matter
For heating companies, frequency converters allow pumping equipment to work according to actual network demand rather than at a fixed load. This can reduce electricity consumption, lower operating costs, extend the service life of equipment and decrease the risk of unplanned shutdowns during peak winter periods.
Schneider Electric Ukraine CEO Mykhailo Bubnov described the project not only as equipment supply, but as a long-term investment in the efficiency and stability of Ukrainian heat supply. For investors and municipal partners, the case shows where recovery capital can have a direct operational effect: utility modernization, energy savings and more resilient public services.
