Today, DTEK Renewables, a UWEA member company has announced the completion of construction of the the first phase of its Tiligul wind farm. This is the largest green energy project in the country, which was implemented during russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.
The 114 MW wind farm comprises 19 state-of-the-art wind turbines manufactured by the Danish company Vestas. For the first time in the Ukraine’s wind power sector history, wind turbines with a unit capacity of 6 MW have been installed in Ukraine!
Construction of 114 MW out of the total declared 500 MW is a major achievement for Ukraine, as new, environmentally friendly, fossil fuel-independent power capacities have added a supply to the national grid. And this at a time when a large number of thermal power plants have been damaged by russian shelling.
There are still several other wind projects in Ukraine which construction was halted by the war, and which could be implemented as early as this year, if the Government of Ukraine provides guarantees to investors through extending PPAs at the feed-in tariff and technical specifications for these wind projects for 2023.
It all depends on how quickly the Committee on Energy and Housing and Utilities Services of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine considers the draft law aimed at commissioning new renewable energy capacities in 2023.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, has repeatedly emphasised the importance of green energy for the future of Ukraine. Such projects contribute to the practical transformation of Ukraine into a “green energy hub” of Europe.
