The first mini-hydroelectric power station was built in Vasilkivka of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. It appeared on the site of the abandoned hydroelectric power station of the collective-farm, announced Valentyn Reznichenko, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast State Administration.

“Due to decentralisation, the reform initiated by President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, hromadas received more powers and responsibilities. Now they are attracting investors themselves to develop their local infrastructure. The Vasylkivska AH is a vivid example of a successful self-government. Just walls were left from the hydroelectric power plants in Vasylkivka – it was not used for more than 60 years. Now a new hydroelectric power station is constructed instead of the old one. It will generate 120 kW per hour,” said Valentyn Reznichenko.

The construction of a new hydroelectric power plant is the first successful project of the Vasylkivska amalgamated hromada. It was implemented solely at the expense of Ukrainian investors.
