The company’s press service reported that the transformer program approved in 2016 foresees the replacement and installation of 52 transformer equipment units, which reached the end of their lifespan (25-30 years) and have been operating for over 40 years.
This year, the company has already replaced two autotransformers at the 330 kV Rivne and Poltava substations and installed new AT-4 transformer at the Kremenchuk 330 kV substation.
As reported, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is able to provide Ukrenergo $167 M (EUR 149 M) for transmission networks upgrade.
