These are Tesla Powerwall 2.0 energy storage systems with a System Backup Gateway 2 power management source for use in cases of power outages and instability of the local power grid.
On Friday, 30 devices were handed over to healthcare institutions, 38 to educational institutions, 25 to the State Emergency Service, and 9 to social infrastructure institutions.
The project was implemented thanks to the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Tesla, the Institute of Telecommunications – National Research Institute (Warsaw), the Polish government, the American charity Direct Relief, and the Yevhen Pivovarov Charitable Foundation.
According to Kim, the region is actively cooperating to provide the region with alternative sources of generation, in particular, the installation of solar and wind power plants.
