In Brovary, the acceptance of applications for participation in the city program of partial compensation of the cost of backup power sources for condominiums has begun. Within the framework of the program, which has been in effect for more than a year, 50% of the cost of the purchased equipment will be reimbursed from the city budget, but no more than 50,000 hryvnias per application. About it in an exclusive comment UNN Andriy Dvornik, energy manager of the Department of Construction, Infrastructure and Transport of Brovary City Council, said.

“At the moment, applications are being accepted. The amount reserved for the program is 500,000 hryvnias for this year,” said Dvornik.

According to him, applications have been accepted since the beginning of the year, and the first compensations are expected from mid-February. The program provides compensation for the costs of purchasing generators, inverters with batteries, as well as equipment to ensure the operation of rooftop boiler rooms, lighting of common areas, water and heat pumps in the event of a blackout.

“Currently, as of January 21, we are still accepting applications because there is a set list of documents that are provided to us. Then, if the documents are in order, we bring it to the executive committee and they make a decision on reimbursement of the cost of backup power sources, I think we will already receive the first compensations for those who applied,” said Dvornik.

Condominiums interested in participating can apply by submitting a complete package of required documents. The program does not apply to private households, because they are subject to government preferential lending programs and initiatives of the Energy Efficiency Fund.

“The relevant program has been in effect in our city since the end of 2022, and about thirty brewery condominiums and housing cooperatives (housing and building cooperative – ed.) have already joined it, some repeatedly. The city allocated almost two million hryvnias for compensation. In order to receive compensation for the installed generator, the management of the condominium or residential complex must apply to the city’s Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Transport the amount of compensation and makes a decision during the meeting of the executive committee,” said the mayor of Brovary Ihor Sapozhko in the summer of last year.
