When the city was left without water for almost a full day, it became not just a local accident but a systemic warning for the entire country. One strike on a substation \u2013 and the city is without water.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"1202\">The main reason for the water outage was that the pumping stations and other equipment of <a href=\"https:\/\/vodokanal.poltava.ua\/uk\/\">\u201cPoltavavodokanal\u201d<\/a> were left without electricity. Water supply critically depends on the stable operation of the energy system, and its damage led to a complete stoppage of water delivery.<br data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"924\" \/>This case demonstrated that the energy efficiency and energy independence of critical infrastructure are not a luxury and not a \u201cgreen\u201d slogan, but an element of national security. Water, heating, electricity \u2013 these are things communities cannot survive without during wartime.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1263\"><\/h3>\n<h3 data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1263\">Energy service: fast solutions for water utilities<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1479\">Today, the energy service mechanism enables communities to act without waiting for budget subsidies or donor grants and without further budget expenses, since all payments are made exclusively from the saved funds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1776\">ESCO companies invest their own money in modernizing pumping stations, installing frequency regulation systems, solar power plants (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Water utilities receive new equipment without prepayment and repay the investment through the electricity they save.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1778\" data-end=\"2061\">This is a clear example of public-private partnership in action: the investor invests, the community receives stability and results.
