With the growing likelihood of blackouts, energy efficiency and energy independence are coming to the fore, becoming key to Ukraine's economic survival. Poltava region, as a progressive region, is actively responding to these challenges, becoming a leader in the implementation of energy efficiency measures.
The Chief Coordinator of the ONOVA League, Chairman of the PU UFEES, Yehor Stefanovych, held a series of meetings with the leadership and residents of the communities of Poltava Oblast. The meetings focused on the main topic of June — preserving the energy independence of our country in the face of a total shortage of energy resources due to Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
At meetings with representatives of the Poltava Regional State Administration, Poltava and Myrhorod municipalities, Yehor Stefanovych discussed the implementation of energy efficiency solutions and ways to support communities by the members of the Ukrainian Renewal League.
The communities were offered a comprehensive package of consulting support for the implementation of energy efficiency measures, including the use of renewable energy sources, replacement of natural gas with alternative fuels, introduction of cogeneration, modernization of energy generation sources and networks, and thermal modernization of public buildings.
"We have agreed to join forces with the regional and community leadership to strengthen energy independence. For our part, we are ready to provide comprehensive assistance to communities in implementing projects that will allow them to save energy and heat resources in the shortest possible time and with maximum efficiency. We also advise communities on attracting donor and budget funds for the implementation of thermal modernization programs. Implementation of a smart approach to energy consumption will help ensure greater energy sustainability of each community and prevent crises in the energy sector at the national level," Mr. Stefanovych commented on the results of his visit to Poltava Oblast.
