TECHIIA, a Kyiv-based international IT company, wants to build a $1 billion energy intensive data processing center on 90 hectares next to the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station in Nova Kakhovka, Kherson. Based on cheap electricity, the 500 MW capacity ‘Ecotechnopark’ would draw power from the power station on the Dnipro, and from Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Station, at Enerhodar, 150 km upriver. Excess heat from the data center would heat greenhouses in Nova Kakhovka to grow fruits and vegetables year around, the company says.
