Construction of a solar power plant in Sumy for the needs of Municipal Enterprise of the Sumy City Council Electroautotrans

This project aims to build a 6.5 MW solar power plant in Sumy to meet the needs of the Municipal enterprise Electroautotrans, which provides public transport services. This will allow the company to almost completely cover its electricity needs, saving about UAH 35 million annually and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 97%.

The project will last for one year, with a payback period of approximately 7.67 years.

Installation of solar power plants at water intakes of the Miskvodokanal- Municipal enterprise of the Sumy City Council

Miskvodokanal provides centralised water supply services to 256,000 residents of the community and centralised sewerage services to 218,000 residents. The installation of alternative power sources with storage systems at the company's water intakes will allow it to supply the community's residents under any conditions. The goal of this project is to provide the water pumping stations of the city's drinking water supply system with electricity, at least in the minimum required amount, during the period of complete absence of grid electricity.

Reconstruction of a part of the pumping station building for a drinking water bottling area at the Prishybsky water intake

Providing the residents of the Sumy community with safe drinking water in case of emergency in the war by purifying and packaging drinking water.

Packaging machines are required in case of water supply system failures, secondary contamination of water, natural disasters or other emergencies, as they guarantee a continuous supply of bacteriologically safe water. This possibility of safe water supply minimises the risk of poisoning people.

This technology will help save on transport costs, as the packages can be delivered by passenger cars rather than by special, fuel-consuming vehicles that are usually used to transport process water.
