It will take "years" to restore Zaporizhzhia's Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant, which was damaged following Russian missile attack, the head of Ukrainian state-owned energy company Ukrhydroenergo Ihor Syrota said on March 25.
The damage to the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant (HPP) has caused the loss of 20% of the regulatory capacity of Ukrhydroenergo, Ukraine's largest hydropower generating company. Damage assessments are underway.
PrJSC Ukrhydroenergo received a tranche of EUR133 million from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the complex project Hydro Power Plants Rehabilitation.
The debt of NPC Ukrenergo to PrJSC Ukrhydroenergo on the balancing market is constantly growing and has already reached almost UAH 8 billion, Director General of the generating company Ihor Syrota has said.
PJSC Ukrhydroenergo is working to attract a total of approximately EUR 330 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the World Bank for reconstruction and development projects, General Director Ihor Syrota has said.
