"DTEK Pridneprovskaya TPP fulfills its obligations under the Memorandum of Cooperation signed with the leadership of the city of Dnepr in early April.

In the plans for 2018 - 300 bucks, "- said the director of DTEK Pridneprovskaya TPP Sergei Degtyarenko.
More than 60 employees of DTEK of Pridneprovskaya TPP and not indifferent inhabitants of the city gathered for the cleaning day. The volunteers cleaned the park area near the station, cleaned up the surrounding area and took out about 10 cubic meters of garbage accumulated during the winter. "Zest" of the event was the planting of trees at the ash dump of thermal power plants near the village of Chapley. Together with energy specialists, the trees were planted by representatives of environmental NGOs.
"Planting trees is the first step of the Memorandum, we see the start of its implementation and the desire to move on. We are positive about this, because any actions aimed at improving the ecology in our city, in our region, on the part of Pridneprovskaya TPP can and should be taken positively, "Pavel Tkachenko, an activist of the environmental movement, said.
Before the start of the action, all participants passed mandatory training on labor protection, received equipment and personal protective equipment.
"Subbotnik for me is held under the motto" Start with yourself! "Here our children live, they play in our parks, breathe this air, and so it is important that new trees grow in our city. Such initiatives are very useful. It's nice that after our subbotnik Dnipro will be cleaner and more beautiful, "said Yevgen Masalov, the master of the production site of the fuel and transport shop of Pridneprovskaya TPP.
