Background

The Bilotserkiv CHP power plant provides heat and electricity to at least 70,000 residents of the city of Bila Tserkva.[7]

Ownership

In December 2023, the Bila Tserkva City Council completed the acquisition of the entire property complex of the Bilotserkiv CHP power station from the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), which had taken possession of it from the previous owner, Kostyantyn Zhevago, due to outstanding debts. The sale and purchase agreement between Bila Tserkva and the NBU was officially signed in November, with the asset transfer to the new owner completed in December. The National Bank assumed ownership of Bilotserkiv CHP through a decision by the Commercial Court of the Kyiv region. In May 2023, the court granted the NBU's claim for foreclosure on the property complex of PJSC Bilotserkivska TPP, which had been pledged to the National Bank. This company had served as a property guarantor for the obligations of Finance and Credit Bank to the National Bank for refinancing loans. The Bila Tserkva City Council proposed to purchase the plant for UAH 298.6 million. A company associated with Zhevago, Mulready Ventures Limited, attempted to challenge the deal in court but was unsuccessful. In November 2023, the Northern Commercial Court of Appeal lifted the ban on the power plant's sale.[8] Following the sale of the plant, the authorities of the Kyiv region started looking for investments to ensure the restoration of the power station. Overhaul of the electrical part of the plant and the turbines, according to experts, will cost more than UAH 300 million.[9]
