Tower Solutions has factories in Granby, Que., and in Brechin, Ont., producing transmission towers that the company says could be exported to Ukraine and rapidly installed to restore power in the war-ravaged country
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said recently Russia had damaged 40 per cent of his country’s energy infrastructure, and on Tuesday, Russian air strikes targeting energy and other facilities caused broad power blackouts.
Ciro Pasini, the president of Tower Solutions, did not deny that his company is in discussions with DTEK but referred questions from The Canadian Press to the company representative involved with the file. The Montreal-based representative did not respond to repeated interview requests. Ukraine’s grid was designed according to a Soviet-era model, so the Russians are familiar with it and are able to strike the network’s nerve centres, paralyzing large areas of the country. Even if his company’s transmission towers and transformers are constantly targeted by the Russians, Timchenko said the company has the capacity to resist and rebuild.
