NEC "Ukrenergo" has put inoperable transformer equipment—damaged or completely destroyed as a result of Russian strikes—up for public auction. The assets will be sold as secondary raw materials for further processing.

The Prozorro.Sales online platform has already opened registration for participation in six auctions for the sale of transformer equipment in the Odesa region. The auctions are scheduled for September 7.

Three autotransformers, each with a capacity of 125 MVA, are up for sale with starting prices of 1.79 million, 2.04 million, and 1.64 million hryvnias.

Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs who meet the legal requirements and have no outstanding debts to NPC “Ukrenergo” may purchase the inoperable transformer equipment.

On August 17, “Ukrenergo” put 16 destroyed or damaged transformers in five regions of Ukraine up for sale for a total of 38.53 million hryvnias.

The state-owned company will use the proceeds from the sale to fund its own operations.
