The US Agency on International Development will allocate a million dollars to strengthen Ukraine’s energy efficiency thus reinforcing its energy independence, USAID Mission Director Earl Gast reported in Odessa.
“We hope this program will bring two results: it helps enterprises to reduce gas supplies and creates a model for other Ukrainian producing companies,” he noted.
USAID will render technical assistance to Ukraine and offer highly profitable financial decisions.
The program will favour cooperation between foreign and Ukrainian energy saving service companies (ESCO) to raise the potential of the Ukrainian ESCO in elaborating own saving programs.
International Resources Group and its subcontractor Alliance for Energy Saving will execute USAID program.
