EU-UNDP Partnership and Its Impact on Urban Infrastructure
“A delegation of representatives from the European Union and UNDP visited Mykolaiv, led by the EU Ambassador to Ukraine Katarina Maternova and the Director of the European Commission’s Service for External Policy Instruments Peter Wagner. As part of the project ‘Crisis Response to Ensure Reliable Access to Energy in Ukraine,’ the European Union and UNDP in Ukraine handed over to Mykolaiv 36 sets of autonomous solar energy systems to ensure uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure and residents’ access to drinking water,” the statement reads.
The city council notes that the equipment will be installed on the roofs of non-residential municipal facilities to support a stable water supply.
The European Union and UNDP are closely collaborating to support the recovery of Ukraine’s energy sector.
«One of the EU’s key priorities is to help communities develop decentralized and reliable energy systems capable of withstanding shocks and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of critical services. In these challenging weeks, when Ukrainians again face prolonged power outages, it is more important than ever to support people and implement solutions that truly improve their daily lives», – Wagner said.
«The European Union remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine. Investments in green energy solutions are investments in the future of Ukrainian communities. Each such installation brings us closer to the shared goal of ensuring energy independence and the safety of all Ukrainians»
The city secretary Dmytro Falko thanked the partners for their ongoing support of Mykolaiv and its residents.
They also report that with support from Germany and the EU, solar panels have been installed in two hospitals and in the Centre for Administrative Services (CNAP), which will be able to cover up to 20% of the facilities’ needs in cold months and up to 75% in warm months.
