Mayor: Odesa to receive nine gas-fired power plants from Japan
Japan will transfer nine gas-powered power plants to Odesa, with the first two expected in November.
Odesa Mayor Hennadii Trukhanov told Ukrinform in an interview.
"After my working visit to Yokohama (March 2023), I told the Japanese that we need gas reciprocating units. They approved the construction, so I came back from my business trip happy - I brought investments worth a billion hryvnias to my city for the construction of nine gas piston stations," Trukhanov said.
According to him, the stations will power large boiler houses.
"Technical work is already underway. We expect the first two units this November, but unfortunately, we will not have time to install them before the heating season," the mayor added.
As reported earlier, Yokohama Mayor Takeharu Yamanaka and UNDP Tokyo Director Hideko Hadzialic signed an agreement on cooperation in rebuilding social infrastructure in Ukraine, including a kindergarten in Odesa that was damaged by a Russian missile strike.
