“We are honored to partner with Ukrhydroenergo as we extend our
role in supporting the reconstruction of Ukraine’s critical

“Hydropower is vital to Ukraine's energy supply, and our decades of
expertise in this key renewable energy source positions us to
support the nation in delivering and sustaining resilient
electricity to millions. As leaders in the dams and reservoirs
sectors, our teams look forward to bringing the necessary energy
advisory and disaster recovery skills to meet Ukrhydroenergo’s
complex hydropower objectives.”
"AECOM has many years of professional experience in the

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."
