These are devices that help manage technological processes and monitor the key technological parameters of the substation, detect problems in the equipment in time and prevent accidents. Some 105 pieces of such equipment were provided free of charge to Ukrenergo by our partners from the USAID Energy Security Project," the post said.

According to the report, the equipment was manufactured specifically for the needs of Ukrenergo by the leading U.S. firm SEL (Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories) in the shortest possible time.
