During her first visit to Lviv, EBRD President Odile Reno-Basso witnessed the signing of an agreement aimed at making urban public transport more resilient to power cuts. The project is valued at 21 million euros. Here’s what Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi had to say about it.

We plan to integrate 20 traction substations and three depots into a single electrical network and install energy storage systems. This is intended to provide up to 7.5 hours of autonomous operation for electric transportation. This is very important for Lviv, where over 150,000 passengers use trams and trolleys daily.
