Three solar power plants with a total capacity of 340 kW, built for the city water supply and sewage systems of the Chortkiv Production Department of Water Supply and Sewerage Services, were officially put into operation on September 23 in Chortkiv (Ternopil region), the press service of the NEFCO corporation (Nordic Environment Finance Corporation), with whose support the project was implemented, reported.
The Nordic Environment Finance Corporation, an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable development through financial support, played a crucial role in funding this green initiative. The EUR 515,000 donation has enabled the construction of renewable energy infrastructure that now powers essential municipal services in Chortkiv. This marks a significant milestone in Ukraine’s efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and integrate renewable energy into public utilities.
The project’s completion represents not only a technical achievement but also a commitment to environmental sustainability. By harnessing solar energy, the city of Chortkiv is reducing its carbon footprint and setting a precedent for other municipalities in the Ternopil region. The initiative aligns with broader European Union goals to expand renewable energy capacity across member states, further enhancing Ukraine’s position in the global transition to clean energy.
Local officials and stakeholders have lauded the project for its long-term benefits, including lower operational costs and increased energy independence. The success of this initiative could inspire similar projects in other regions, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable energy landscape in Ukraine. As the city continues to integrate renewable technologies into its infrastructure, the impact of such projects on both the environment and municipal budgets is expected to grow significantly.
