Smart Grid: Ukraine on the path to an energy revolution
Intelligent power systems also allow reducing dependence on traditional energy sources by integrating solar and wind power plants. Where is Smart Grid already operating in
“Solar power plants can help Ukrainian society,” Sokolovskyi says, by giving energy independence to private citizens and businesses. Moreover, support for critical infrastructure like hospitals, clinics and schools – the kind of work Semenyshyn's Repower Ukraine does – often comes from PV and energy storage combined.
Solar energy in Ukraine is gaining traction. With one of the largest solar energy companies in the country aiming to deliver 1 Gigawatt of solar and wind energy by 2030, there is a huge spike in demand. Ukraine has a range of incentives designed to encourage investment in solar power facilities.
Figures from the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (SEAU) earlier this year showed that the country added around 850MW of solar PV capacity in 2024, the majority of which came from self-consumption systems installed by businesses. It's “become a trend”, Semenyshyn says.
Following three years of bombardments and damage to its energy infrastructure, Ukrainian businesses are turning to self-consumption solar PV systems to keep the lights on.
Ukraine has a range of incentives designed to encourage investment in solar power facilities. Since the country is one of the top locations for solar panel installation, this market holds a great deal of potential for any developer looking to enter the industry. Gudzovka has a peak capacity of 24.3 MW, which is enough to power around 23,000 homes.
They are both parts of Zhytomyr Solar Park. The Terslav solar power plant project in the Dnipropetrovsk region will have a capacity of 20 MW. It will be one of the largest solar power plants in Ukraine and will help approximately 9,000 households use renewable energy. It's been launched in May 2020.
