General information

Description of the project

The "Rehabilitation of Hydropower Plants" project of PJSC "Ukrhydroenergo" involves reconstruction work at six hydroelectric power plants on the Dnieper River in Ukraine. These works include the reconstruction of turbines, generators, and the replacement of electromechanical and hydromechanical equipment, which will allow extending the service life of the hydropower units by at least 40 years, increasing their capacity, and improving efficiency. 

The purpose of the project

Main goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards

Secondary goal:

Capacity building

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

Extending the service life of 22 hydropower units, increasing the capacity of the units and improving their efficiency, which should ensure a reduction in the negative impacts of hydropower units on the environment. The project will improve the efficiency of dynamic management of the Ukrainian power system.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Bringing the existing operating modes of hydroelectric power plants and hydroelectric power plants of PrJSC "Ukrhydroenergo" up to European standards, in particular, extending the service life of hydroelectric power plants, improving operational stability and reliability of electricity supply, increasing the regulatory capacities of the Unified Power System, increasing the efficiency and level of safe operation of hydroelectric power plants and hydroelectric power plants, ensuring the security of electricity supply to consumers.
