Ukraine2Power has launched a project to install battery energy storage systems in schools across Kyiv’s Troieshchyna district. The goal is to provide schools with reliable backup power, allowing them to continue operating during power outages.

Energy storage systems allow electricity to be stored in batteries and used to power critical infrastructure, including shelters, lighting, essential equipment, and selected classrooms. These solutions significantly reduce schools’ reliance on generators, which require a constant fuel supply, regular maintenance, and repairs.

As part of the project, backup power systems will be installed in seven schools across Troieshchyna. Funding has already been secured for six educational institutions, and the Ukraine2Power team has identified a seventh school where an energy storage system is planned.

The schools included in the project are:

– Specialized School No. 251

– School No. 263

– Lyceum No. 293

– School No. 294

– Lyceum No. 306

– Specialized School No. 313

– Specialized School No. 320

Fundraising is currently ongoing to complete the final stage of the project.

The energy storage systems will enable schools to maintain operations in key areas even during periods of unstable electricity supply. This is particularly important for shelters, where students and teachers spend time during air raid alerts.

The project is part of Ukraine2Power’s broader effort to strengthen the energy resilience of Ukrainian communities. The organization develops decentralized energy solutions, including battery energy storage systems and solar power installations, to help communities continue functioning despite ongoing attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Ukraine2Power invites partners, companies, and donors to support the fundraising effort and help complete the installation of the seventh system, ensuring that another school has access to a reliable source of electricity.
