Plans are in place to repair the roof of the Yelanets Gymnasium in the Voznesensk district of the Mykolaiv region and install a solar power plant there. The work is provisionally estimated to cost 11.9 million hryvnias.

This is according to data from the Prozorro public procurement system, NikVesti reports.

The client is the Department of Education and Sport of the Yelanets Town Council. The work is due to be completed by 30 November 2026.

According to the tender documentation, the contractor must carry out dismantling and reinforcement works, repair the roof, insulate and ventilate the attic, install lightning protection, and install a solar power plant.

The tender submission process is currently underway, and the contractor will be selected after 14 April.

The principle behind solar panels is quite simple. During the day, they generate electricity that can be used to meet the school’s needs, even during power cuts.

It should be noted that all buildings with individual heating units (ITPs) in the Korabelnyi district and, to some extent, Zavodskyi districts, where problems arose during power cuts, are being fitted with inverters, batteries and generators. Furthermore, there are plans to install solar power stations at 36 sites to enable autonomous operation.
