New Steps taken towards the new «Renewables for Resilient Ukraine» Project

The project “Renew­ables for Resilient Ukraine” aims for 16 Ukrain­ian com­mu­ni­ties to receive grants of 30k – 50k EUR to install solar pow­er sys­tems or heat pumps in pub­lic build­ings: schools, hos­pi­tals, kinder­gartens etc.

Cur­rent­ly, the grant agree­ment with NGOs has been signed and a tech­ni­cal con­cept for the project has been devel­oped.
