Ukrainian-Slovak partnership: Ukrhydroenergo expands cooperation in the implementation of promising projects

The parties discussed possible cooperation in raising funds to develop a feasibility study for an innovative project of a multi-purpose integrated hydroelectric power plant, which aims to combine various types of generation from renewable energy sources to balance the Integrated Power System of Ukraine.
During the meeting, Acting CEO of Ukrhydroenergo Bogdan Sukhetskyi noted that the construction of a unique and powerful power plant for the production of renewable energy would be the first project of its kind in Ukraine.
