KSG Agro launched cogeneration plant at pig farm for energy independence

As part of its energy independence strategy, KSG Agro commissioned a cogeneration plant (CGU) with a capacity of 1.2 MW and 1 MW of heat at one of its pig farms, the agricultural holding’s press service reported.

“In the context of full-scale war, the issue of energy independence is shifting from a strategic advantage to a critical necessity. This is especially true for livestock enterprises in frontline regions. Creating our own energy complex allows us to guarantee continuity of production and predictability of costs,” the press service quoted KSG Agro Chairman of the Board of Directors Serhiy Kasyanov as saying.

The equipment installed by the Czech company RSE meets the entire energy demand during the autumn and winter period. The launch of the KGU is the first stage in the creation of a single energy complex for the holding, which will also include a solar power plant (SPP) and an electricity storage facility (ESF).

According to the company’s plan, the SPP is to be built in 2026 and all elements are to be integrated into the EMS (Energy Management System) control system. The program will coordinate generation sources in real time and optimize energy consumption.

The plan is to fully provide the agricultural holding with its own electricity and heat at optimal prices by the end of the year.

The vertically integrated holding company KSG Agro is engaged in pig farming, as well as the production, storage, processing, and sale of grain and oilseeds. Its land bank in the Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions is about 21,000 hectares.

According to KSG Agro, it is one of the top five pork producers in Ukraine. In 2023, the agricultural holding began implementing a “network-centric” strategy, under which it will transition from developing a large location to a number of smaller pig farms located in different regions of the country.

In January-September 2025, KSG Agro received $5.96 million in operating profit and $6.92 million in gross profit, which is 68% and 31% more than in the same period of 2024.
