Our partnership and cooperation will be an important step in restoring the damaged Ukrainian energy infrastructure in general and hydropower generation in particular," said Ihor Syrota, Chief Executive Officer of Ukrhydroenergo. "Today, the restoration, protection and preparation of energy facilities for winter remain a priority for Ukraine. I am grateful to international partners like AECOM who are involved in the restoration of critical infrastructure damaged by the attacks. The partnership being launched today will speed up the recovery process."
