First Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of Energy of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal reported that Ukrainian engineers have conducted inspections of decommissioned power plants in EU countries to identify equipment needed for the restoration of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
According to him, eight facilities have been inspected in Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Austria, and Croatia. Equipment at the Riga CHP plant has been identified as being of interest to Ukrainian energy companies. A corresponding request has been submitted to facilitate the transfer of this equipment to Ukraine.
