The municipal company «Odessa Heating Supply» is in full swing preparing for the 2024/25 heating season.

Amid ongoing threats to the country’s energy system, a key priority is reducing energy consumption at the enterprise.

As Deputy Mayor Anna Pozdnyakova noted, most of the pump units at «TMO» are significantly worn out and consume excessive amounts of electricity under current conditions.

Therefore, ahead of the new heating season, negotiations took place between the management of «TMO» and the Swiss embassy in Ukraine regarding the delivery of four pumps, each with a capacity of 200 kW. The expected outcome is decreased energy consumption amidst shortages.

According to the signed Memorandum, the Swiss embassy financed the purchase of equipment costing about 12 million hryvnias.

In early October, four long-awaited pumps arrived in Odessa. Currently, the equipment is being installed at one of the facilities of the "Odessa Heating Supply", serving over 100 thousand consumers and more than 421 administrative buildings, including medical, educational, cultural, and religious institutions.

“This equipment is crucial for the heating supply of Odessa. With lower energy consumption, it will help provide thermal energy to consumers in the central part of Odessa. Reducing consumption is particularly important during power outages and generator operations,” said Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov.

Odessa expresses gratitude to international partners for their comprehensive and ongoing technical support for the city's critical infrastructure.
