General information

Description of the project

The project involves the installation of 30 kW solar power plants on wells that provide drinking water for centralized water supply. The implementation of the project will ensure reliable water supply for 66 thousand residents of Kherson by installing an autonomous and ecological power source. 

The purpose of the project

Main Goal:

Improving the quality of services

Secondary Goal:

Contribution to climate or environmental goals, Introducing innovations and energy-efficient solutions

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

The goal of the project is to improve the quality of centralized water supply for residents of Kherson during power outages as a result of shelling by installing alternative sources of power for drinking water wells using renewable electricity - solar power plants with a capacity of 30 kW.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

In the event of a power outage, the Municipal Enterprise "VUVKG of Kherson" ensures the operation of local drinking water wells using diesel generators, which leads to significant financial costs for fuel. The duration of operation of generators and wells directly depends on the availability of fuel and financial resources for its purchase. In addition, the operation of diesel generators leads to air pollution. Installing solar power plants on wells will reduce dependence on a single source of electricity, ensure high-quality provision of water supply services, reduce the financial costs of the enterprise and the cost of drinking water. Improve the ecology of the city of Kherson
