Ukraine's energy storage milestone and vaccine rollout
Summary
A look back at two developments reported in Ukraine in the days around 14 April 2021, one in energy infrastructure and one in public health.
What was happening in Ukraine's economy and public life around 14 April 2021? Two developments stood out in the preceding days.
On 9 April 2021, the energy company DTEK completed installation of what was reported as the first industrial energy storage system in Ukraine. The system has a power of 1 MW and a capacity of 2.25 MWh.
A few days later, on 13 April 2021, Ukraine began vaccinating its population against coronavirus with CoronaVac, a vaccine made by the Chinese company Sinovac Biotech.
The two events belonged to different spheres: one concerned the country's power infrastructure, the other its response to the pandemic. Both were reported as milestones in the days leading up to 14 April 2021.
