Kyiv Receives Applications Worth 400 Million UAH for Energy Efficiency Program '70/30'

The Kyiv City State Administration has recently announced that it has received a remarkable number of applications for the '70/30' energy efficiency co-financing program, with the total amount reaching 400 million UAH. Petro Panteleyev, the Acting First Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, shared this information during a press briefing focused on the topic of preparing for winter and ensuring backup power sources for apartment buildings in the capital.

Panteleyev highlighted that the competition for participation in the program has already been conducted, and the number of applications received has exceeded expectations. 'We have already held the competition and received a sufficient number of applications. The total amount and demand from these applications is nearly 400 million UAH. We have 250 million UAH allocated in the budget, but we will be adding more funding to meet the needs of those who have applied as much as possible,' he emphasized.

The '70/30' co-financing program supports a wide range of energy efficiency measures. This year, the program includes the construction of modular boiler houses, where the city will finance 90% of the costs. This initiative is expected to significantly improve the energy efficiency of apartment buildings across the capital.

Additionally, the program for reimbursing expenses for the purchase of backup power sources continues to be in effect. According to Panteleyev, over 5,000 power supply elements have already been compensated. The average reimbursement amount ranges from 200,000 to 300,000 UAH, while the sum for the installation of solar power plants is set at 600,000 UAH. Currently, more than 70 rooftop solar power plants have been installed on high-rise buildings in Kyiv, indicating a robust development of alternative energy sources in the city.

Moreover, the capital continues to operate a revolving fund that provides preferential loans for the needs of residential communities. The official noted that more than 30 million UAH has already been issued for energy efficiency measures across 23 buildings. This reflects the residents' interest in improving the energy efficiency of their homes and reducing utility costs.

Panteleyev also pointed out that there are currently 1,000 energy-efficient high-rise buildings in Kyiv, marking a significant achievement for the capital. This indicates a growing awareness among residents regarding energy efficiency and the necessity of implementing new technologies to conserve energy.

Thus, the '70/30' program and other initiatives aimed at enhancing energy efficiency demonstrate the active efforts of the Kyiv City State Administration to improve the energy situation in the city, which, in turn, will positively impact the quality of life for the residents of the capital.
