✔️ The SE “Guaranteed Buyer” initiated the start of the corporatization procedure

The legislation on REMIT, which was adopted in July, opens the possibility to corporatize the “Guaranteed Buyer” (GB). Currently, GB is the only enterprise in the energy sector that has remained in state ownership status. In order to effectively support energy sector development and develop electricity exports, the company must meet international standards, become transparent and introduce relevant governance procedures. In accordance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Management of State-Owned Entities”, last week “Guaranteed Buyer” appealed to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with a proposal to start the procedure of transformation from a state-owned enterprise into a joint-stock company. The company hopes for the support of the government, key ministries and partners in the renewable energy sector.

The EUEA welcomes the beginning of the corporatization process of “Guaranteed Buyer” and emphasizes the importance of introducing corporate governance in the company. This will strengthen the company’s operations and open up new opportunities for the company, as well as contribute to the transparency of its activities and harmonize its work with European standards. Strengthening the trust of stakeholders, and increasing the company’s competitiveness in the energy market will be important results of this process. Details.

🤝Zhytomyr launches a green CHP plant that will burn sorted garbage

One of the bio-CHP plants in Zhytomyr, which was planned to operate on wood chips, will switch to 50% refuse derived fuel (RDF) from the local waste processing plant, Deputy Mayor of Zhytomyr Serhii Kondratyuk said. According to him, at the suggestion of the city council, investors reworked the bio-CHP project, which will produce 20 MW of heat from wood chips (40 MW was planned) and 20 MW from RDF. In addition, its design capacity also includes the production of 10 MW of electricity. However, it is not yet known when exactly the waste processing plant will be able to produce the required volumes of RDF. During the plant’s test operation it became clear that it does not conform to the parameters specified during the design: 85% recycling and 15% returned to the landfill. Therefore, an additional purchase of equipment is planned to meet these parameters. At the same time, as the deputy mayor noted, the most likely reason for the deviations is the composition of the garbage, most of which is organic waste.
