It is noted that now they can be installed without going through a number of permitting procedures.
According to the Prime Minister, these mini-CHPs will create a power reserve in case of an emergency power outage and at the same time decentralize generation.
According to Shmyhal, thanks to cooperation with USAID, Ukraine should receive 69 small and medium-sized plants by the end of 2023.
"Already this winter we will have a positive result from their operation," the Prime Minister said.
Addendum
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said in a telethon earlier that Ukraine is ready to get through the winter without blackouts, unless there is massive shelling and natural disasters.
