The Ukrainian city of Dnipro will improve the energy efficiency of 100 public buildings, including preschools, schools and outpatient clinics. This is possible thanks to the new €25 million loan, provided by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to Dnipro’s municipal energy management company, and an investment grant of up to €5.5 million from the Eastern Europe Energy Efficiency and Environment Partnership (E5P) fund, of which the EU is the largest contributor.

The new loan builds on the successful implementation of a pilot project with Dnipro’s energy management company in 2020. Under the pilot, financed by the EBRD, the E5P and the Clean Technology Fund, 33 schools and 48 preschools were refurbished to offer more comfort and greater energy efficiency.

Mark Magaletsky, EBRD deputy director for Ukraine, said: “The new financing will allow the city to maintain the pace of its energy efficiency investments in public buildings and will set an example for other Ukrainian cities to follow. Once the projects are completed, the city would have renovated almost 200 public buildings, the largest such effort in Ukraine.”
