The current energy management system in Zaporizhzhia does not fully comply with the European standards, and this reduces its efficiency. In September 2014, the USAID Project specialists conducted the first training for specialists of the communal utilities and the City Council structural units on the introduction of the municipal energy management system.

The USAID Projectprovides comprehensive support to the city on the modernization of the municipal energy management system and introduction in Zaporizhzhia of the international standard “Energy Management System” ISO 50001, as well as the introduction of an electronic system for monitoring energy resources consumption at municipal objects.
