United Kingdom, London: The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is allocating €65 million ($70 million) to the Ukrainian national transmission network operator, Ukrenergo, for an energy project designed to increase energy efficiency and meet growing demand for power in the Ukrainian capital.

The project includes the construction of a 330 kV Zahidna substation with power transformers and associated electrical equipment, as well as the construction of two 330 kV lines which will connect the new substation to the grid, states EBRD in the press release.  

The new operation is also expected to provide more flexibility to Ukrenergo in managing four existing 330 kV substations in the Kiev region, which operate above their design load for significant periods of time every year.
