The city of Slavutych in the Kyiv region plans to transition to 100% renewable energy throughout the community, as reported by Mayor Yuriy Fomichev in an interview with Liga.net.

According to Fomichev, the city already has a "developed plan" called "Power Slavutych," and it will be adopted "in the nearest future."

Among the potential projects is the installation of a mini-CHP (Combined Heat and Power) plant that will operate on local fuel, such as wood and its waste. Fomichev mentioned that such a CHP could be used to generate electricity for critical infrastructure in case of a complete blackout, which the city experienced in March 2022 (Slavutych was without electricity for six days during that time). However, the mayor stated that the mini-CHP project is currently "at the stage of technological disputes."

Fomichev acknowledged that the city has a limited development budget but is simultaneously "active in international cooperation." For example, in 2023, Slavutych's budget was just over UAH 300 million, and international projects brought in UAH 417 million for the year.

The mayor added that energy efficiency is the number one priority for the "city of atom workers":

"We need to do this to preserve all the infrastructure. Then we can talk about its restoration," Fomichev said.
