Ferrexpo intends to build a new solar power plant with a capacity of 10.8 MW to meet the needs of its production.
This was announced by Viktor Lotous, Chairman of the Board of Poltava Mining and Processing Plant, in an interview with Delo.ua.
According to him, the company currently has a 5 MW solar power plant, which operates exclusively to meet production needs and does not receive compensation under the green tariff. The company is currently building a new power plant.
He noted that after the resumption of Russian massive attacks on the Ukrainian energy system, the company is facing difficulties in supplying electricity.
"For example, on March 29, there was an emergency shutdown for 12 hours and the enterprise almost did not work. But then we were given electricity and we started up. On March 30, we were also limited to 20 MW. In the winter of 2023, we worked only at night, and during the day we were stopped," says Lotus.
It is noted that electricity can be supplied to the company from different parts of the grid, so it is not limited to one specific route.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, Astarta has raised its climate rating on the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) platform by increasing energy efficiency and improving its climate risk management performance.
