Summary
Denmark, through the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO), has sent about EUR 4.5 million in additional financing, ensuring the supply of new mobile container boiler houses to Ukraine, the press service of NEFCO reported.
"Denmark and Ukraine are very close partners, and it is good to see that our partnership can also support critical heating infrastructure in Eastern Ukraine. Keeping heating on is of crucial importance for Ukraine's resilience and fighting power. In addition, it has a positive impact on Ukraine's CO2 footprint," comments Ole Egberg Mikkelsen, Denmark's Ambassador to Ukraine.
In particular, according to him, the transferred 20 gas boilers, with a capacity of 39 megawatts, will ensure district heating supply to over 180,000 people, which is 80% of the total population of the city where they are to be installed. Some 10% of the Ukrainians who will benefit are internally displaced. The funded project will cover some 30-40% of the citizens heat demand (the settlement is not named for security reasons).
