Provided by USAID, these units were commissioned in late February and in late October 2024.
Powered by natural gas, they enable the autonomous operation of two boiler houses of the communal utility.
SCU Lutskteplo carried out several works to put the units into operation, including gasification and connection to heat and power networks, laying an overhead power line from the CGU to the central heat substation, preparing the groundworks, and installing a noiseabsorbing screen.
According to experts, the operation of both units is expected to save the company approximately UAH 20 million during the heating season.
USAID ESP also provided materials to the local communal heating company in Lutsk to repair the municipal energy infrastructure and maintain the operation of energy infrastructure facilities.
From 20222024, USAID ESP purchased and transferred essential equipment to enterprises and institutions in Lutsk, including an emergency vehicle, an excavator, 111 generators, five mobile modular boiler houses, 8.3 km of pipes, 500 tons of technical salt, and 245 valves.
This equipment is critical, especially in light of the recent Russian attacks on November 28th, which left 1 million Ukrainians heat and electricity.
The cogeneration units provided by USAID helped provide heat and water to thousands of community residents in Volyn, Khmelnytskyi, and Rivne oblast.
