JSC "Cherkasyoblenergo" 15 September, following the results of a tender, ordered transformers from LLC "Eliz" for 68,76 million UAH.
This is reported in the Prozorro system.
By 31 March 2027 the manufacturer must deliver to Cherkasy two oil-filled three-phase three-winding power transformers, localized by two-thirds. The contract provides for supervising installation. The advance is 50%, and the remainder will be paid within 15 working days after readiness for acceptance tests at the manufacturer. The warranty will be five years of operation.
In July JSC "Ukrtransnafta" ordered from the same "Eliz" an oil three-phase three-winding power transformer TDTN-16000/110-U1 115/38,5/11 Un/Un/D-0-11 for 21,10 million UAH. That cost $29,4 thousand per one MVA, which was 28% cheaper than the current purchase. That tender also provided an advance of 50% and delivery of the goods by 31 March 2027, but to the Odesa region.
In April "Ukrtransnafta" ordered a similar power transformer TDTN-16000/110 110/35 for 15,00 million UAH from another firm, i.e., at $21,4 thousand per one MVA. Details are unknown.
In January–March JSC "Poltavaoblenergo" ordered from other firms similar three-phase three-winding power transformers TDTN-16000/110-U1 ECO2 110/35/10 Un/Un/D-0-11 and TDTN-16000/110/35/6 kV without details at $32,5-32,9 thousand per one MVA. That was 19% cheaper.
In May KP "Kyivteploenerho" ordered from PJSC "Zaporizhtransformator" two similar three-phase three-winding power transformers TRDN-40000/110-U1 and TRDNS-40000/35-U1 for 82,53 million UAH. Details are unknown. The average unit cost of those transformers with various rated winding voltages was $23,5 thousand per one MVA, which was slightly more expensive.
Currently "Zaporizhtransformator" offered at 4 million UAH (7%) lower price, but it was rejected due to non-compliance with the technical specification terms. According to the customer, the plant did not confirm the rated voltage and the copper winding material, etc., because different documents contained different information.
A more expensive competitor in these auctions was LLC "EDS-Power".
A similar situation occurred a year ago in a tender by "Khmelnytskoblenergo". There "Zaporizhtransformator" offered its product for 27,96 million UAH, and the eventual winner "Vector-A" — for 37,03 million UAH, i.e., one third more expensive.
Then the state-owned plant was rejected because it failed to attach two self-produced documents to its tender proposal and submitted a transformer test protocol with a different winding connection scheme and group. At that time the plant did not appeal its rejection, which allowed "Khmelnytskoblenergo" to spend 7 million UAH more under the agreement with the intermediary. Because "Vector-A" participated in the tender with a transformer from LLC "Olimp Energo." However, in the end the margin was reduced, and by an additional agreement the price was lowered to 27 million UAH, which corresponded to ZTR's price.
The state controls 71% of "Cherkasyoblenergo." Another 26% of shares are registered to PZNVIF "Syomiy" (Seventh) LLC "Asset Management Company "Swarog Asset Management," which belongs to Olena Umanska and the Cypriot company "Energy Standard Fund Management Limited" of Leonid Pivovarov from Switzerland. The latter is known as Konstantin Hryhoryshyn's lawyer.
The oblast energy company is headed by Roman Bondar; the authorized procurement officer is Larysa Kravchenko.
Regarding "Zaporizhtransformator" a bankruptcy case was initiated in 2019. The plant belonged to Konstantin Hryhoryshyn, who long ago left Ukraine after, by court decision, he handed part of his business to Vadym Novynskyi. In November 2022 the enterprise, as strategically important, was transferred to the management of the Ministry of Defense until the end of martial law.
Zaporizh "Eliz" is owned by Eduard Sapozhnikov, Mykhailo Dyachenko, Vitalii Pustovyi, as well as Zaporizh LLC "Sich-98" of Tetiana Sapozhnikova and Mykhailo Dyachenko. Since the launch of Prozorro in 2016 the winner has received state contracts totaling 1,82 billion UAH.
