According to a research, an analysis of energy-equipment purchases through Prozorro shows an uneven market: in some regions demand is rising for complex systems, while in others tenders are cancelled or there are no suppliers.
Kyiv and western regions concentrate demand for complex systems
In Kyiv and Kyiv region there is the strongest paying demand for complex electronic equipment, industrial inverters and uninterruptible power supply systems. Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Zakarpattia regions attract long-term private and foreign investment in solar and wind power plants.
In Ivano-Frankivsk region 51 active lots were recorded to purchase autonomous power systems with a total value of 48,8 million UAH. Communities are seeking generators and lithium batteries.
Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions — funds for urgent needs, but supply problems
Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions are among the leaders in attracted capital volumes, but due to shelling funds are directed to urgent needs: they buy powerful industrial generators and large substation equipment. Local authorities and enterprises prioritise quick solutions.
In Kharkiv region there is a shortage of contractors: suppliers are wary of transporting expensive equipment close to the front or taking on long installations. The tenders for generators worth 2,4 million UAH and electronics worth 250 thousand UAH were cancelled.
Vinnytsia and Ternopil regions — tender failures and unspent funds
In Vinnytsia region emergency power source procurements were successfully completed only for 66,9 thousand UAH, and purchases worth 53 million UAH are still being processed. Tenders worth 126,5 million UAH were cancelled or did not take place due to lack of participants.
In Ternopil region they also cancelled procurements of generators for 3,5 million UAH and electronic equipment for 461 thousand UAH. Due to tender failures the procurers were left with unspent funds.
