Lviv plans to put the waste processing plant into operation on June 30, 2025, and the deadline for commissioning with all commissioning processes is August 30, 2025.

This was reported by Suspilne. Lviv reports, citing Oleksandr Yegorov, director of the Lviv municipal enterprise Green City.

“Since we had a halt in the construction of the plant, the deadline for completion of general construction work has shifted to June 2025, and commissioning is scheduled to be completed by August 30 next year,” commented Nazariy Berbeka, chairman of the temporary control commission of the Lviv City Council, deputy.

To resume the construction, which was suspended in September, Zelenyi Misto and the general contractor, the Polish company Control Process SA, signed an additional agreement to extend the construction. According to the agreement, equipment worth €10 million is to be provided by December 24.

“As of today, despite the pause in negotiations, more than 30 trucks with equipment have been delivered to the construction site,” says Alexander Yegorov.

According to Nazar Berbeka, the supplemental agreement has yet to be accepted by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

“We had difficulties with the EBRD in approving the second phase of construction because the Ministry of Infrastructure did not have an official who could sign it,” the official explained.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in September this year, the construction of the Lviv waste processing plant was stopped because the Polish company Control Process SA violated the essential terms of the construction contract. In early August, EcoPolitic reported that the waste processing plant in Lviv was already 65% complete.
