Nova Poshta, the leader in express delivery in Ukraine, has launched the first of seven gas-fired cogeneration gas piston units planned for installation by 2025.
“A new stage in the implementation of the energy independence program has begun: the first gas piston cogeneration unit with an electrical capacity of 1 MW has started operating at the company’s hub (Nova Poshta – IF-U) in western Ukraine. Six more CCGs are currently being installed and are expected to be commissioned this year, including in Kyiv,” Nova Poshta’s press service reported on Tuesday on Telegram.
The company’s CHP units will generate electricity and heat from natural gas.
According to the report, Nova Poshta has invested a total of UAH 300 million in energy independence and plans to invest another UAH 150 million in 2025. More than half of the total investment of UAH 450 million will go toward gas generation.
