KharkivOblenergo JSC, together with the American GE Vernova, is implementing a project to create a fleet of mobile high- and medium-voltage substations on the basis of the regional power company, the company reported on its website, citing Vyacheslav Kravtsov, the Head of KharkivOblenergo.

"Currently, this is a new type of equipment for us, but we have tactical plans on how to utilise it. We have already prepared several grant applications, technical specifications, held productive meetings, and familiarised ourselves with the products and services of the legendary company, with over 120-year history," he said at the international conference "ReBuild Ukraine" in Warsaw on November 14.

The CEO reiterated that active hostilities are ongoing in the Kharkiv region, and every day, often under fire, the repair teams of the regional power companies have to carry out emergency restoration work.

"To promptly restore the electricity distribution and connect generation, we modeled and selected a technical solution – a mobile substation," V. Kravtsov noted.
