The South Ukrainian City Council approved a grant agreement with NEFCO for 5.2 million euros. These funds will be used to reconstruct two sewage pumping stations and a pressure main.
Council members adopted the corresponding resolution during a session.
The project involves the reconstruction of the KNS-2 and KNS-3 sewage pumping stations, as well as the pressure collector for domestic sewage from KNS-3 to the Tashlyk Reservoir along the NK-1–NK-2 section.
According to Tetyana Tatsienko, head of the City Council’s Economic Development Department, the total cost of the work is 5 million 840 thousand euros. Of this amount, 5 million 255 thousand euros will be provided by NEFCO, while the municipal community is to provide the remaining 585 thousand euros.
During the reconstruction of the pumping stations, there are also plans to install solar panels and batteries. This is intended to ensure the use of alternative energy sources to power the facilities.
In June, it was announced that NEFCO’s investment committee, with the support of the Danish government, had approved funding for the project. The project is titled “Reconstruction of Two Wastewater Pumping Stations and a Pressure Sewer Main in Pivdennoukrainsk.”
On July 3, city council members authorized the signing of the grant agreement. At that time, 24 council members voted in favor of the decision.
In September, the city council, utility officials, and experts discussed how to prepare and implement the project, conduct procurement, and determine the scope of work.
NEFCO (Nordic Environment Finance Corporation) is an international financial institution founded in 1990 by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Its headquarters are in Helsinki.
It provides loans, grants, and investments for environmental and climate projects, including energy efficiency, renewable energy, water supply, and waste management. It has been operating in Ukraine since the 1990s, specifically funding projects for communities and municipalities, and since the start of the full-scale invasion, it has also been supporting the restoration of energy and utility infrastructure.
