Denmark has allocated 5 million euros to Pivdenoukrainsk for sewer repair

The Pivdenne Ukrainian City Territorial Community will receive grant funding of up to EUR 5.255 million from the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) under the Green Recovery Program for Ukraine.

According to the South Ukrainian City Council, the relevant decision was made by the NEFCO Investment Committee with the support of the Danish Government.

The funds will be used to implement the project "Reconstruction of two wastewater pumping stations and a pressure sewer in Pivdenoukrainsk". The project involves the modernization of the city's critical wastewater infrastructure.

In particular, it is planned to reconstruct sewage pumping stations KPS-2 and KPS-3 with the installation of solar panels and powerful batteries. This will reduce electricity consumption and ensure uninterrupted operation of the facilities during possible power outages.

It is also planned to reconstruct the sewage pressure collector from CS-3 to the Tashlyk Reservoir. The project is expected to increase the reliability of utilities, reduce environmental risks, and ensure the stable operation of municipal engineering networks.

The community noted that attracting an international grant of this magnitude is an important step for the development of Pivdenoukrainsk and demonstrates the confidence of international partners in the city council's ability to implement large infrastructure projects.

Pivdenoukrainsk City Council also thanked NEFCO and the Danish Government for supporting the restoration and development of the city's infrastructure.

Earlier, a grant from the Danish Government funded the construction of a new 9.9 MW solar power plant inMykolaiv.

In addition, the Danish government is ready to allocate EUR 45 million in grant aid for the modernization of new wastewater treatment facilities.
