In Mykolaiv, unused funds from the programme to compensate for the purchase of generators for condominiums remained.

In a comment to NikVesti, the first deputy mayor of Mykolaiv, Vitalii Lukov, said that anyone who wanted to could take advantage of the programme.

«For the second year in a row, Mykolaiv has been running a programme under which we compensate half the cost of a generator purchased by a condominium. Anyone who wanted to could take advantage of it, and we didn't even specify whether it was a generator, a rechargeable battery, or some other type of alternative energy source. All of these were eligible. We asked for this all summer long, we shouted about it. We still have unused funds even for this programme,» said Vitalii Lukov.

As is known, in Mykolaiv, in 2025, associations of co-owners of apartment buildings submitted four applications for compensation for the purchase of generators.

As a reminder, scheduled power outages occur daily in Mykolaiv and the surrounding region. Hourly schedules are applied throughout the day — from 00:00 to 23:59, and the duration of power outages sometimes reaches up to 20 hours per day.

As of the end of January, the total capacity of home and business charging stations in Ukraine is estimated at 1.6 GW. EcoFlow accounts for 62% of this market.

Recently, the first deputy mayor of Mykolaiv, Vitalii Lukov, said that Mykolaiv plans to install automatic generators in homes that have no heating due to power outages. According to him, this is being worked on in preparation for the next heating season.
