Cover Energy Plus Leads the Way: Building the First Modern Waste Processing Plant in Lviv

Cover Energy Plus is proud to be part of an important mission — the construction of the first modern municipal solid waste processing facility in Western Ukraine. This project is a milestone not only for the city of Lviv, but also for the entire country on its path toward a cleaner and more sustainable future.

Our team has already completed a significant portion of work at the site located at 13 Plastova Street, Lviv. The completed works include:
• installation of external power supply systems;
• setup of outdoor lighting;
• site preparation for the next construction stages;
• installation of engineering networks and early structural works.

These efforts have laid a solid foundation for the full-scale implementation phase of the project.

🏗️ What’s Next — Building on Success

We are moving into the next phase of construction as the general contractor, responsible for delivering the complete waste treatment facility. The plant will be equipped with state-of-the-art mechanical and biological waste treatment technologies that meet the highest European environmental and efficiency standards.

Our goal is not just to build infrastructure — it’s to establish a new systemic approach to waste management for the city and the wider region.

🌍 Impact for the City and Community

This project will be a real game-changer for Lviv. The new plant will:
• significantly reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills;
• enable efficient sorting and processing of household waste;
• create new job opportunities;
• improve the overall ecological state of the region;
• help Lviv move confidently toward green transformation.

🤝 Shared Vision — A Clean and Modern City

We are grateful for the trust of our partners, clients, and the support of the local community. For us, this project is more than just a construction site — it’s a chance to make a meaningful contribution to the sustainable development of our city.

Cover Energy Plus is a team of professionals committed to quality, responsibility, and innovation. We work every day to build a better Ukraine — starting with every city, every neighborhood, and every project.

📌 Together, we are shaping the new face of Lviv — clean, modern, and sustainable.

Cooperation between Taiwan and Ukraine is reaching a qualitatively new level. Taiwan is showing real support for Ukraine — not just in words, but through concrete actions. Humanitarian aid, investments in infrastructure projects, and the development of partnerships in energy, transportation, healthcare, and high-tech sectors are all part of the sincere and systematic support Taiwan is providing in one of the most challenging times for our country.

This June, 20 companies from Lviv will travel to Taiwan as part of a special business mission — the “Rebuild Ukraine Delegation”, organized by the Taipei Trade Center in Kyiv. The goal of the trip is to establish strategic contacts, open new markets, and strengthen economic ties between our countries. Delegation participants will have the opportunity to hold business negotiations with Taiwanese companies and visit key enterprises, institutions, and chambers of commerce and industry.

One of the companies invited to participate is Cover Energy Plus, a representative of the energy sector actively working on creating modern solutions in the field of renewable energy.

Why is it important for Ukrainian businesses to switch to alternative energy sources and become energy independent?

In today’s climate of energy instability, high electricity prices, and increasing environmental pressure, it is more important than ever for Ukrainian enterprises to rethink their energy consumption. Transitioning to alternative energy sources is not just a trend — it’s a strategic decision to ensure stable business operations, reduce costs, and maintain competitiveness.

How to transition to energy independence?

Cover Energy Plus offers a full range of services in the field of alternative energy — from energy audits and system design to the installation of solar power plants, energy storage systems, hybrid solutions, and maintenance.
We help Ukrainian businesses become stronger, more independent, and environmentally conscious.

Lvivteploenergo has launched a large-scale project to modernize the city’s thermal infrastructure. The general contractor, Cover Energy Plus, will carry out a comprehensive reconstruction by the end of 2025, significantly improving Lviv’s energy efficiency.

As part of the project, the following improvements are planned:
🏗 Construction of a new modern building and installation of four cogeneration gas-piston units with a total capacity of 20.38 MW;
⚙️ Installation of Bergen Engines AS (Norway) gas engines and Marelli Motori (Italy) generators;
🔥 Creation of an efficient heat power distribution system to optimize resource utilization;
🛡 Compliance with top-tier safety standards—the facility will be protected according to Level 1 security regulations.

This initiative is a crucial step toward sustainable city development, improving the reliability of heat supply, and reducing energy costs.

Additionally, as part of the preparation for this ambitious project, Cover Energy Plus specialists visited Bergen, Norway, to study advanced European technologies in cogeneration and energy efficiency.

The modernization of Lviv’s energy infrastructure is an investment in a stable and eco-friendly future! ⚡️♻️

♻️ The construction of the waste processing complex in Lviv is another step towards a clean future!

The waste problem in Lviv has persisted since 2011, and the tragedy at the Hrybovychi landfill in 2016 became the point of no return. The city needed a modern solution, and in 2021, the construction of the mechanical-biological municipal solid waste transfer and processing complex began.
As of early 2025:
✅ 80% of construction work completed
✅ 45% of the equipment delivered
✅ The plant is set to start operations this year

The Cover Energy Plus team contributed to the implementation of this important project:
⚡ Relocated power lines from the construction site
⚡ Performed electrical installation works to power construction machinery
⚡ Developed the external power supply project
⚡ Completed the reconstruction of the Lviv-19 110/35/10 kV substation to connect the plant

We are proud to be part of this change and to help make Lviv cleaner and more eco-friendly!
