Mykolaiv also decided to install solar power plants on the roofs of its heating stations. This will provide an additional source of clean energy for the needs of local infrastructure. It is planned to install solar power plants with a capacity of 15 kW each on the roofs of the central heating stations of Mykolaivoblteploenergo. A total of 34 solar stations will be installed.

In September, solar panels were installed in three medical facilities in Mykolaiv Oblast. The installation of the power plant will significantly reduce the hospitals' electricity costs and ensure the smooth functioning of the facilities even during power outages. This will reduce the load on the general power grid and increase their energy resilience.
