Nighttime strike on the Kyiv region: Russia damaged one of the largest bioenergy thermal power plants
On the night of May 29, the Russian army attacked and partially destroyed a bioenergy power plant in the village of Ivankiv, Kyiv Oblast. This is one of the largest bioenergy facilities in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, with a capacity of 19 MW. The shelling damaged the plant’s infrastructure, in which approximately $40 million had been invested.
This was reported by Oleksiy Butenko, founder of the company "Biogazenergo," which built the power plant.
"For some, it’s just an industrial facility. For me, it’s a part of my life. One of the largest biofuel power plants in Eastern Europe. $40 million in investments. Over 400 jobs. A partnership with the EBRD," Butenko noted, adding that the company intends to restore the damaged facility.
