LLC “Naftogaz Bioenergy - A,” a subsidiary of the NJSC Naftogaz group, has posted a procurement on Prozorro for services to install independent backup power systems in Kyiv multi-apartment buildings. LB.ua learned this from the tender announcement. The expected procurement cost is 4,358 billion UAH; power sources will be purchased for 905 buildings in the capital.
The purchase is funded from the budget as part of implementing regional resilience plans ahead of winter. Implementation of this project was set out in March of this year by government resolution No. 353. The resolution provides simplified procedures for financing, contract signing, installation, and commissioning of independent power systems for Kyiv high-rises.
In April we wrote about how information was circulated and applications were collected from Kyiv buildings to participate in the pilot project. The main participation conditions were: the buildings’ height and the dependence of engineering systems on power (pumps for heating and hot water); holding residents’ meetings confirming consent to participate in the project (50% + 1 vote, regardless of the building’s form of management); the free acceptance of equipment with subsequent self-maintenance (energy resource costs).
Applications were submitted through district management companies; the submission deadline was extended from the initial 30 days nearly until the end of May. In total, more than a thousand applications were collected across Kyiv, but some buildings were filtered out (if they already had similar power sources or did not meet the project’s technical criteria).
Currently the list comprises 905 Kyiv buildings. The most applications were accepted in Darnytskyi and Desnianskyi districts, with 206 and 180 addresses respectively. The fewest were in Podilskyi (23) and Pecherskyi (35) districts.
The expected cost of the services the procurer plans to obtain is 4,358 billion UAH. The final deadline for submitting proposals is until 26 August. The procurement is divided into 10 lots corresponding to the number of Kyiv districts. Participants may bid on individual lots. Importantly, the contractor provides an integrated service: the equipment itself, its connection to the building and integration into building networks, and verification of the system’s autonomous operation. The basic kit of the independent backup power system consists of: a generator, an inverter, and a hybrid battery energy storage system.
According to LB.ua, the coordinator of this pilot program is presidential adviser Oleksandr Kubrakov. The procurement operator and controller of contractors’ service provision has been designated as LLC “Naftogaz Bioenergy - A”; according to YouControl data, the head of this company in May 2026 became Ruslan Nychik. Until December 2025, Nychik headed the Infrastructure Recovery and Development Service in the Kyiv region. In the past, Nychik and Kubrakov had joint projects within private companies providing communal services to apartment buildings, including the “Misto dlya Lyudey” and “Eurokomunservice” networks.
