KIEV, Aug. 26 – Kyivenergo, as part of its modernization plan, will ensure that Energia incineration plant will become a fully functional pumped storage power plant running on alternative energy by the end of 2018.

"This resolves two very urgent tasks: the provision of alternative energy to Kiev and waste recycling," said Kyivenergo CEO Yuriy Mahera.

At present, Kyivenergo has started the second stage of modernization of the incineration plant during which boiler four and the electric filter will be overhauled with a replaced heating surface, external pipelines, water eco-meter, and restored setting and insulation. Clamshells for cranes in the slag and solid waste sections will be bought. This stage would be completed by the end of the year.
