Ecology ministry gets several proposals from Canadian business to build clean energy plants in Chornobyl zone

"Canadian investors have showed their interest in a possibility of building biofuel plants and sustainable energy power plants (first of all solar power plants) in the 30-kilometer radius exclusion zone around the Chornobyl power plant, the site of world-s worst nuclear disaster 30 years ago. Canadian businessmen presented several realistic offers, minister Ostap Semerak said. The ministry recalled that the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone has all equipment to connect plants to the power grid, but new legislation is required for implementation of these projects.
