DTEK RENEWABLES HAS LAUNCHED PRE-DESIGN WORKS A WIND POWER PLANT

DTEK Renewables has started pre-design works for the 650 MW Poltavska Wind Power Plant which will be located on the territory of the Hlobyne town community in the Poltava region. On 26 October, 2023, the company signed a trilateral agreement with the executive committee of the Hlobyne city council and a specialised certified organisation that will provide a range of spatial planning works.

The pre-design work will involve a series of engineering and geodetic surveys, as well as the development of a territory plan. It will include preparation of an environmental assessment report, and a set of land management works. After the spatial planning work is completed, DTEK Renewables will also conduct ornithological surveys, which is an essential and mandatory part of the preparatory pre-design work for the construction of the wind farm.

Oleg Solovei, Deputy Director of DTEK Renewables, said, “We are looking to the future, despite the war. We are deliberately and consciously going to this region because a large, energy-deficient power plant is very much needed here. Electricity from Poltavska WPP will give an impetus to more rapid development of the economy in Poltava and adjacent regions.”

Hlobyne Mayor, Stanislav Dzhus, took part in the signing of the agreement on behalf of the community. He said, “We are very keen for DTEK Renewables to implement this ambitious project in our community and make Ukraine energy independent.”

Andriy Konechenkov, Chairman of the UWEA Board: “Europe is accelerating the green transformation of its energy system. From traditional fossil fuel energy to a modern, sustainable energy system based on renewable energy sources - this is exactly how the energy transition in Ukraine should be. UWEA welcomes DTEK Renewables' decision to expand the geography of wind farms in Ukraine. This agreement is an important part of enhancing Ukraine's energy independence and its transition to clean energy. Large-scale implementation of wind energy technologies strengthens energy security and reliability of energy supply, decarbonises our economy.”
