The Dobroslav community has passed the competitive selection process to participate in the development of a pilot feasibility study as part of a grant project.

The head of the village council could not provide details of the project.

"On Monday, GIZ representatives will come to us to get acquainted with the community and provide all the information about the project. After that, I will be able to answer your questions," she explained to Intent.

Earlier, the Odesa City Council allocated UAH 60 million from the city budget to the municipal enterprise "Heat Supply of Odesa" to install new cogeneration units that should provide autonomous energy generation within the city. It was noted that this is only the initial stage of a large-scale project worth almost UAH 200 million.

Seven of the plants are those that Odesa received from the German agency GIZ. They were planned to be placed in neighborhood boiler houses.

In March 2025, the Odesa Regional Office of ULEAD with Europe hosted a meeting of the heads of the Dobroslavska, Artsyzka, Avanhardivska hromadas with Daniel Busche, Director of the German Development Agency GIZ. The meeting discussed the current problems of communities in the context of a full-scale war, prospects for international cooperation, the state of implementation of the decentralization reform, and opportunities for attracting foreign investment in post-war reconstruction.
