The Ministry of Communities and Territories Development and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have signed an agreement for EUR 16.5 million to install solar panels and heat pumps at social infrastructure facilities. This initiative aims to provide sustainable, decentralized energy solutions for public buildings such as schools, kindergartens, and hospitals. The project is expected to enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, aligning with Ukraine’s broader goals of transitioning to renewable energy sources.
The funding will support the installation of solar panels and heat pumps in selected schools, kindergartens, and hospitals across Ukraine. These measures are designed to ensure that public buildings have a reliable and sustainable energy supply, reducing their dependence on traditional energy sources. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure, Ukraine aims to create a resilient energy system that supports its social infrastructure and contributes to national energy security.
The collaboration between the Ministry of Communities and Territories Development and the UNDP underscores the importance of international partnerships in advancing sustainable development goals. The project is part of a larger effort to modernize Ukraine’s energy sector while addressing climate change and ensuring the long-term sustainability of public services. With the support of the UNDP, Ukraine is taking a significant step toward achieving its climate targets and enhancing the efficiency of its social infrastructure.
