Myronivska Poultry Farm to use alternative energy sources

Myronivska Poultry Farm of the Myronivsky Hliboproduct (MHP) agro-industrial holding is considering the possibility of switching to alternative energy sources.

Denis Smirnov, the Deputy Director for Engineering and Technical Equipment, shared the plans with Latifundist.com.

In 2017, the farm installed an experimental solar panel with a capacity of 9 kW.

The panel supplies enough electricity for the farm needs.

Denis Smirnov says that the results are very satisfying so far, and the company plans to increase the number of panels in the near future. The payback of such panels is 5 years.

“We want to equip all the roofs with panels and gain complete energy independence. We also consider other sources of alternative energy, including the construction of a biogas plant for the very same reason,” he said.

Reference: all enterprises of the Myronivsky Hliboproduct (MHP) agro-industrial holding are rapidly conducting desiccation of sunflower. More than 1 thousand hectares of crops have been processed by mid-August
